Best work culture I've ever been a part of

Business Outlook

Pros

Growing and healthy company; great culture; great mission; love what the people and the work

Cons

We're scaling fast and expanding globally so you can't expect all processes and support mechanisms to be perfect. We're not a big corporate work environment so be prepared to just make things work sometimes. Need to be prepared to build and create no matter what position you hold.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful post! I'm really happy that you're a key leader on the team and that you appreciate our culture, mission, and the people at Remitly. Thanks also for sharing that we are scaling fast (so true!) and that we're not a big corporate work environment so that folks need to come prepared to build and "Be an Owner" -- that's exactly right! I'm glad you enjoy doing that and I'm very grateful for your contributions -- both culturally and in your area of expertise.

Great company, tons of growth, more opportunities ahead

Director

Pros

This is an incredibly well run company. It thinks deeply about the customer and what it will take the get to the next level. What is exciting is that somehow it seems to be growing even faster at scale then before. On top of which, there are new products like Passbook which will be an entirely new S curve on top of remittances. There seems to be a really clear vision of where we are going, why we are doing what we are doing (the customer), and very thoughtful execution. Speaking as someone who has been at Remitly for a few years now and seen a lot of growth, I am as excited about what’s ahead as what we have accomplished. And a word on COVID. The leadership has done an incredible job investing in both growing the business but also paying attention to what’s going on with employees during COVID and the racial uprising here. Kudos to Matt and the rest of the leadership team. In this case, it feels like we were able to do both gracefully.

Cons

We have a middle manager team that is growing. Not quite a con yet, but it’s clear that we need to invest in this group to make sure that they are effective, well aligned, and autonomous. Otherwise, we will start getting in our own way.

Thank you so much for your thoughts! I really appreciate your feedback! And I'm so glad you're on the team (for a few years now!). Thank you for being a key part of our growth. I'm really happy to hear that you know we're driven by our desire to serve and help our customers. That's what makes this business and work meaningful. And ... needless to say ... I'm also incredibly excited about our vision :). Glad you are too! I also really appreciate your thoughts on developing middle management. You're right this is so important, especially for a company our stage/size, and we'll continue to double down on this area. Thanks again for being part of Team Remitly and for sharing your thoughts!
