Supportive and Challenging Environment Doing Work that Makes a Difference

Decision science analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Remitly cares about your well-being as an individual, and they are generally open to feedback regarding what they can do to best support their employees. The CEO genuinely cares about creating a product that supports immigrants, not exploits them, and most of the leadership follows that guidance.

Cons

Remitly is in that awkward growth stage where it is figuring out how to still act with the flexibility of a startup, but is truly too large to be as agile as one. Cross-team collaboration and communication can sometimes be difficult to coordinate and execute. They are aware of the problem, though. For some people, the base salary pay may not be competitive. Stock options are offered, so it's a balance between getting a larger salary now or betting on the future. I'd also recommend weighing the benefits of good work-life balance.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback. I'm so glad that you're on the team. I also really appreciate your feedback regarding the fact that Remitly is at the "awkward growth stage" and you're right that we're aware of it ... I know we'll continuously improve here (as successful companies must at our scale/size). Most importantly -- I'm so happy to hear that you know I genuinely care about creating products that support immigrants. That's definitely not always the case in the industry (or in many companies) and that's absolutely what Remitly is all about. Thank you again for being part of Team Remitly and for your feedback!
