Pros

When I interviewed at Remitly I was sold because of the mission. There is nothing more rewarding than working for a mission driven company. The reason I stay at Remitly is because of the people. Each person at Remitly brings something new to the table. I learn something new everyday and I am challenged to do what I do best. The perks are of course are the games, such as ping pong, pop-a-shot. The snacks in the office, the company/team meetings, the view and the PTO

Cons

Remitly is still going through it's growing pains and sometimes we have to roll with the situation until it's worked out. It requires patience but management and other coworkers are always available to listen and hear your suggestions.

Pros

- Strong culture that everyone really embraces - Lots of fun problems to work on - Relaxed work environment and fantastic work/life balance - Good opportunities for personal and professional growth - Very satisfying to help build things that genuinely help our customers

Cons

- Too many problems to solve and not enough time - Company vocabulary and acronyms... So many words/phrases for the same thing or too many confusing acronyms. It doesn't seem efficient and makes ramping up more difficult. A dictionary would help. - Temporary growing pains - Average benefits
