Pros

- The mission of the company is a meaningful one. It is not just something posted on the website and forgotten. It literally spurs the decisions and actions of all employees from the CEO down. - There is a high degree of autonomy. Even as a relatively new joiner, I am actively encouraged to think of new ways of working, new projects to drive, and new strategies to implement. - Everyone is welcome to give feedback at all levels of the organization. There is even a feedback channel directly related to the app itself, which allows anyone to propose ways to improve. These comments aren't just made and forgotten, they are put directly into product improvement roadmaps and followed-up on by the Top Team. - Compensation is competitive and fair, with a meaningful portion of equity which incentivizes longer term growth and collaboration across teams. - DEI is taken seriously. There are so many engagement/community networks that people can become a part of; even if you do not necessarily identify directly as being from said community. - It's a large, NASDAQ-listed company that still has the feel of a smaller size tech company in terms of openness, flat management, minimal hierarchy, and a genuine teamwork feel.

Cons

- The hiring/onboarding process took slightly longer than I would have hoped for (i.e. from accepting the offer to official start day), but part of this can be attributed to me being hiring into a new geographic office, so it was less straight-forward than the typical onboarding.

Pros

The people are very friendly, very diverse team and you learn so much for each other. People have best intentions in mind, the CEO is a super friendly person - the management work hard and set a good example.

Cons

Fast growth means that sometimes Remitly is still thinking like a start-up. Need to redefine some processes to reflect our international scale.
