Pros

- Strong culture that everyone really embraces - Lots of fun problems to work on - Relaxed work environment and fantastic work/life balance - Good opportunities for personal and professional growth - Very satisfying to help build things that genuinely help our customers

Cons

- Too many problems to solve and not enough time - Company vocabulary and acronyms... So many words/phrases for the same thing or too many confusing acronyms. It doesn't seem efficient and makes ramping up more difficult. A dictionary would help. - Temporary growing pains - Average benefits

Pros

Remitly challenges you everyday. You have a chance to be the best employee you can be. This is by far the most rewarding job I've had. We get to make a real difference in peoples lives. Plus, We have an office full of delicious snacks, beware of the kitchen, it will become your best friend and your worst enemy.

Cons

While we are in the late stage, we are still a start up. There are still everyday challenges to face. However, everyone is willing to work with you to come up with a solution.
