Pros

smart, kind people, service that makes the world a better place, best idea wins environment, truly collaborative and innovative environment, ability to make an impact. Culture of trust.

Cons

Sometimes ambiguity can make ramping up a challenge, however for a startup, it's to be expected. I've worked for large organizations with more ambiguity, so it's not a major pain point. Also, the snacks. You might gain the "Remitly 15."

I really appreciate how you've captured ... "smart, kind people, service that makes the world a better place, best idea wins environment, truly collaborative and innovative environment, ability to make an impact. Culture of trust.". ... I care a lot about people and culture so that means a lot. I agree that smaller companies can have more ambiguity but, if you feel like there is anything that we can do to improve here, I'm definitely open to ideas. And great reminder to continue to focus on transparency and recognizing employee accomplishments. That's always our goal. Hope you're continuing to have a great time at Remitly! I would just add that we're the lucky ones to have you as part of the team!

Pros

The company started off to be great when I joined a few years back. Lots of hands on opportunities, some great people to work with. Benefits are good, people are valued and contributions are seen.

Cons

The company really started to go downhills in 2024 when there are constant leadership changes, mission changes, priorities changes and team orgs. Business Managers are starting to act like the "decision-maker" over pretty much all product and marketing decisions. We start to question if the direction we are focusing on is even right. Is it customer-centric still or is it more business-oriented. work life balance is bad stress is high people are no longer valued, heard or seen you know a company is going in a negative direction when you start to see tenured employees to leave, smart people to leave as well.
