Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback so others can hear your perspective on Remitly! One of the biggest things that I also love about Remitly is getting to work with smart and thoughtful leaders around me (including you!). I appreciate your feedback on the 409a as well ... that's something we look at annually and I'll take into account your feedback this year. And we'll *definitely* continue to lead with a customer centric mindset -- thanks for caring so much about our customers.

Pros

+ Great opportunities for influence + Genuinely cares about diversity and inclusion

Cons

- Moving fast means sometimes things aren't done perfectly. - a small company means sometimes execs are involved at a level of detail that hinders progress

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback! I'm glad you see opportunities for influence -- that's a great thing about joining a new and rapidly growing business ... we're still figuring things out and we want your help/thoughts! I'm also * very* happy that you know we care genuinely and deeply about DEI. Good advice that 'moving fast means sometimes things aren't done perfectly'. I think that's a challenge of a rapidly growing business but we'll always work hard (with your partnership/influence!) to get the most important things right as we scale. And appreciate you sharing that sometimes execs are involved at a level of detail that hinders progress. I'll be mindful of that going forward and, if you ever have any specific examples you want to share so I can help, please swing by my next office hours so we can chat. I'm grateful you're part of the team. Thanks again for your feedback!

Definitely a 'Best Place to Work'

Anonymous employee

Pros

+mission, vision, & values run deep +taking positive actions around diversity, equity, & inclusion +collaborative environment - no one really says "that's not my job" +able to communicate regularly with senior leadership, including CEO +actively celebrate our accomplishments, as well as our customers and the impact they have on our success

Cons

-grew globally very quickly, so some things haven't scaled quite as fast or in the correct way -some roles don't have a clear career trajectory (how to get to next level) -some of the scrappiness that is still around, having begun as a start-up, is tough to muddle through sometimes. But, it's also one reason why I also love working for Remitly - you get to be a true owner and contribute to things that far outreach your daily job duties.

Thanks so for taking the time to share your feedback! And for being part of the team! I really appreciate all of the positives that you mention here. These things all matter to me a lot personally and I know that we (including you!) collectively work to make them a priority. Thank you! Great points on the 'cons' as well, especially around making sure we're growing globally effectively. That's a key priority. Thanks again for your thoughts and for caring so much about our company.
