Pros

My Journey at Remitly: 18 Months of Growth and Impact Over the past 18 months at Remitly, I've embraced a series of exciting challenges within an incredibly collaborative team environment. One of the highlights has been leading several internal, customer-facing projects. Taking ownership of these initiatives allowed me to apply my passion for helping others achieve their goals, thereby making a positive impact on both our customers and the company. Remitly's culture is uniquely focused on delivering meaningful impact at a fast pace. It's an environment where dynamic professionals are encouraged to grow, supported by exceptional leaders who are deeply invested in our success. This commitment to personal and professional development is a testament to Remitly's core values, including customer centricity, delivering on promises, and hiring and growing exceptional people. Being part of a team that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement has been both inspiring and rewarding. I'm proud to contribute to Remitly's mission of transforming lives with trusted financial services that transcend borders

Cons

The fast-paced nature of the organization is invigorating, but it sometimes leads to overlapping responsibilities. Clarifying role definitions might help streamline processes

Pros

Phenomenal people to work with. They care and are passionate about the work that we do. They are (largely) bright and willing to collaborate. The work is also very interesting too. You can deal with remittance risk (one of the hardest to tackle since the money goes abroad), payments (getting money from the customer for large amounts), and disbursements (getting money halfway across the world).

Cons

Far too top-heavy. Has yet to determine whether it wants to be Product, Business, or Engineering led. Should be making far better investment decisions.
