      A culture of ownership

      Pros

      I've been at Remitly for some time, and I am still here because of the incredible culture of ownership and development we have. I have the autonomy to determine how to deploy my skills and strengths to both develop professionally and add the most value to the business. That level of ownership is not only encouraged but expected. It's not for everyone, but for me being able to determine how I can best grow the business and allocate my time accordingly is incredibly fulfilling.

      Cons

      We've had some "good problems" in that we have grown so rapidly (employees, customers, complexity, countries) that we've had to continuously improve in order to maintain our culture, work effectively together, and keep pace is individuals with the company's growth. I think our cultural values enable us to tackle these inevitable growth challenges, but change can be tough sometimes.

      Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm so happy that you're part of the team and I'm so grateful for your contributions to Remitly over the past +5 years (more than half the life of the company!). We wouldn't be here without you and I can tell from your comment that you live our "Be an Owner" value. Thanks also for helping us continuously improve our culture and to help us tackle the "good problems" that you mention. We're lucky that you're part of the team!

      Pros

      Customer focused, Fast Growing (creating tons of learning and opportunity), Rewarding, Global company. I want meaningful work, to make a real difference for customers and within the company, and learn from smart people around the world who will challenge and support my growth. I am getting all of that at Remitly, better than any company I've worked for. It feels like the CEO and entire leadership team genuinely care about customers and employees, and about growing the business to help even more immigrants. It's not just a bunch of bros trying to get rich. People talk about, try to live up to and help each other with the values every day, so the culture is not just posters on the wall. Decent benefits including personal travel reimbursement to explore developing countries. Women execs, vp's and directors recently hired; as is true across tech, still room for improvement on diversity, heard we're posting new D&I director opening.

      Cons

      Going through global growth burst right now, which creates some challenges with org changes and role clarity. It's a tech-led company, so the mix of personalities and talent across engineering, product, marketing, support, business have to learn to work together in new ways. Scrappy so don't yet have a lot of formal development programs, but new talent director just hired and everyone is creating dev plans, so getting better? Every high-growth company I've been in has these challenges. Much better and more fun problems to solve vs those in shrinking companies, which I've also experienced!

      Fast growing, mission-oriented with lots of personal development opportunities

      Pros

      High growth, with a focus on mission of serving immigrants and their families. Frequent all hands encourage transparency. CEO is empathetic and cares about employees. Diverse exec team relative to others. Good snacks and office environment.

      Cons

      High growth means some ongoing change - which can be an opportunity or for someone not accustomed to change, can be hard. Opportunities to improve diversity, although better than I've seen elsewhere at tech firms, and management seems committed.
