      Pros

      + Great opportunities for influence + Genuinely cares about diversity and inclusion

      Cons

      - Moving fast means sometimes things aren't done perfectly. - a small company means sometimes execs are involved at a level of detail that hinders progress

      Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback! I'm glad you see opportunities for influence -- that's a great thing about joining a new and rapidly growing business ... we're still figuring things out and we want your help/thoughts! I'm also * very* happy that you know we care genuinely and deeply about DEI. Good advice that 'moving fast means sometimes things aren't done perfectly'. I think that's a challenge of a rapidly growing business but we'll always work hard (with your partnership/influence!) to get the most important things right as we scale. And appreciate you sharing that sometimes execs are involved at a level of detail that hinders progress. I'll be mindful of that going forward and, if you ever have any specific examples you want to share so I can help, please swing by my next office hours so we can chat. I'm grateful you're part of the team. Thanks again for your feedback!

      Pros

      This is an incredibly well run company. It thinks deeply about the customer and what it will take the get to the next level. What is exciting is that somehow it seems to be growing even faster at scale then before. On top of which, there are new products like Passbook which will be an entirely new S curve on top of remittances. There seems to be a really clear vision of where we are going, why we are doing what we are doing (the customer), and very thoughtful execution. Speaking as someone who has been at Remitly for a few years now and seen a lot of growth, I am as excited about what’s ahead as what we have accomplished. And a word on COVID. The leadership has done an incredible job investing in both growing the business but also paying attention to what’s going on with employees during COVID and the racial uprising here. Kudos to Matt and the rest of the leadership team. In this case, it feels like we were able to do both gracefully.

      Cons

      We have a middle manager team that is growing. Not quite a con yet, but it’s clear that we need to invest in this group to make sure that they are effective, well aligned, and autonomous. Otherwise, we will start getting in our own way.

      Thank you so much for your thoughts! I really appreciate your feedback! And I'm so glad you're on the team (for a few years now!). Thank you for being a key part of our growth. I'm really happy to hear that you know we're driven by our desire to serve and help our customers. That's what makes this business and work meaningful. And ... needless to say ... I'm also incredibly excited about our vision :). Glad you are too! I also really appreciate your thoughts on developing middle management. You're right this is so important, especially for a company our stage/size, and we'll continue to double down on this area. Thanks again for being part of Team Remitly and for sharing your thoughts!

      A company making real impact

      Pros

      100% mission driven, Remitly is build around its mission to serve immigrants around the world and this impacts every decision. - The people, Remilty is filled with some of the most talented, knowledgable, and caring people I have ever worked with. I am inspired by the work of my fellow employees, challenged to push myself, and really love working with everyone in the company. Culture - Remitly is very intentional on its culture and it shows. They live and breathe their values everyday and if these values align with you as a person there is really no better place to be than Remitly. This culture is created from the Founders of the company and it is felt throughout each person. Many companies can have culture engrained in the highest levels but it is rare to find a place where from intern to CEO everyone is truly bought into the culture and mission. - Leadership. Remitly is truly lead by an amazing group of leaders. The C-suite while not perfect are really truly focused on serving our customers and empowering their teams to grow and learn. It is not just about the bottom line, but making sure every person who works at Remitly is supported and encouraged to grow. I feel very confident in the future of this company because of the leadership.

      Cons

      You will be challenged when you work at Remitly. Challenged to grow, challenged with hard tasks, challenged to think differently. This may not be for everyone, but this is what makes Remitly special. - Very senior level driven company, junior level employees can learn a lot, but may not be involved in decision making. Not a true negative but junior level people should be aware. You must be comfortable or learn to speak up in order for input to be added.
