Pros

Great opportunities to grow in your career. I love working for a startup that has nailed product market fit, and is in the process of scaling. Leadership is open to input. Team members are driven and talented. The new office is way quieter!

Cons

Moving as fast as we are some of the projects could be scoped better, but we are working on it.

Pros

The people at Remitly are smart, dedicated, genuinely care about each other and our customers, and believe in the common mission. Everyone is willing to roll up their sleeves for the larger goal, and everyone is invested in each others success. There's little to no friction between teams, everyone is eager to work together, but are also respectful and understanding of each other.

Cons

Remitly hasn't met an acronym that it doesn't like, and certain acronyms can mean multiple things across several teams. Efforts are being made to make the learning curve and the common vocabulary more accessible.

I’m glad that you’re finding that Remitly team members are “smart, dedicated, genuinely care about each other” – that’s our goal! As I hope you know, I care a ton about culture and always want to continually improve so if there is anything that we can do better then I’m always open to hearing it. TTYS* Matt *A little acronym joke here ;). You’re totally right … there are a lot of acronyms here … and it’s good feedback that we could improve the training and usage around these. I was actually just chatting with our HR team about how to teach these in a fun and engaging way during onboarding … hopefully it will help. Good feedback. Thanks!

Pros

The culture here is the biggest pro, everyone is open & supportive. It's also important to me that the product is actually helping people & the CEO truly cares about this mission.

Cons

The current building (always freezing) - luckily we're moving to a new space!

Thanks for the post. I'm so glad that you see that I care about our mission. I do ... serving our amazing customers is genuinely what motivates me everyday. Glad I get to serve our customers with you! And glad we moved into a new office recently so you're no longer freezing!
