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

Huge corporate growth potential, tons of opportunities in the remittance sector. One of the hottest startups in Seattle right now, near the top of most rankings. Remitly's building a world-class FinTech platform that can move money across continents in minutes. Technically sound but always looking for more top contributors. Great finances. Company cultural values help define choices which leads to better decisions. Collaborative environment, agile, with improving infrastructure. Diversity/Inclusion is a priority, not just a buzzword.

Cons

A lot of kludgy code built for a much smaller operation holds up progress. Many independent teams without much coordination between them. No yearly bonus or matching 401K, med benefits mediocre.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I really appreciate it and the points that you make about our growth trajectory, culture, world-class fintech platform, and great finances all ring true. I'm glad they resonate with you as well. We do have work to do to scale our system so I appreciate you pointing that out. I'm also glad you mentioned benefits as this is something that the HR team is in the process of updating. I'm happy you're part of the team and thanks again for caring about our company / leaving your thoughts.

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.
