Pros

+mission, vision, & values run deep +taking positive actions around diversity, equity, & inclusion +collaborative environment - no one really says "that's not my job" +able to communicate regularly with senior leadership, including CEO +actively celebrate our accomplishments, as well as our customers and the impact they have on our success

Cons

-grew globally very quickly, so some things haven't scaled quite as fast or in the correct way -some roles don't have a clear career trajectory (how to get to next level) -some of the scrappiness that is still around, having begun as a start-up, is tough to muddle through sometimes. But, it's also one reason why I also love working for Remitly - you get to be a true owner and contribute to things that far outreach your daily job duties.

Thanks so for taking the time to share your feedback! And for being part of the team! I really appreciate all of the positives that you mention here. These things all matter to me a lot personally and I know that we (including you!) collectively work to make them a priority. Thank you! Great points on the 'cons' as well, especially around making sure we're growing globally effectively. That's a key priority. Thanks again for your thoughts and for caring so much about our company.

Pros

Growing and healthy company; great culture; great mission; love what the people and the work

Cons

We're scaling fast and expanding globally so you can't expect all processes and support mechanisms to be perfect. We're not a big corporate work environment so be prepared to just make things work sometimes. Need to be prepared to build and create no matter what position you hold.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful post! I'm really happy that you're a key leader on the team and that you appreciate our culture, mission, and the people at Remitly. Thanks also for sharing that we are scaling fast (so true!) and that we're not a big corporate work environment so that folks need to come prepared to build and "Be an Owner" -- that's exactly right! I'm glad you enjoy doing that and I'm very grateful for your contributions -- both culturally and in your area of expertise.

Pros

* Unlimited PTO * Bring your whole self to work * Great senior management team * Good benefits

Cons

* Growing gap between senior management and individual contributors as teams scale and org tree becomes more vertical. * Middle management starting to feel more political and corporate.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. I'm happy to hear that you feel like you can bring your whole self to work, that you have confidence in the senior management team, and that you like our benefits. I also value your feedback on the gap between senior management and ICs and I'm sorry to hear that you feel like middle management ins starting to feel more political and corporate. If you're open to discussing this in a bit more detail so I can understand the specifics, I'd welcome a longer discussion about it during my next office hours. I'll also look to the engagement score feedback and commentary for your insights. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback -- i'm grateful for your contributions and that you're on the team!
