      Actually toxic

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay A few good people to make up for all the crazies

      Cons

      Unrealistic workloads, majorly understaffed, lots of burnout Leadership lacking - finger pointing between leaders, endless shifting priorities, chasing metrics for optics rather than actual benefit to the business Everyone for themselves - very little camaraderie between teams, lots of favoritism to a handful of "yes men" Development - lots of "experienced" middle management being hired, front line managers have it the worst dealing with unrealistic leadership expectations Consistently bad hiring because of a refusal to admit this is a difficult place to work and being honest with new hires on the support/resources they'll have (aka none) and the challenges of this culture/way of working

      High risk, High reward: A tale of great potential and great woe

      Pros

      * High growth * incredible potential for career acceleration and learning * good compensation * good technology * beyond nice and beyond hardworking people (cannot overstate either of these) * interesting and challenging work

      Cons

      * awful work-life balance * long hours plus lots of late nights plus long weekends plus overworked and stressed coworkers = a subpar place of employment if you chose to work to live (vs live to work) * growing pains * staffing issues * overly conservative COVID policies * seemingly impulsive and high-risk decision making made at high levels * cult-like culture that worships at the altar of Remitly. You're not all that. Tone down the self praise and truly work on improving the employee experience

      Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm sorry to hear about your experience at Remitly and I'd love to learn more. I see that you've been with the company for less than a year so it doesn't look like we've met but, if you're open to it, I'd really like to meet you so I can openly listen and learn from your experience. If you're open to it, please feel free to send me an email or slack. If you'd rather remain anonymous, I respect that and we have an amazing HR team who I know will listen carefully to your thoughts/feedback so we can learn from them. Thanks for being part of the team and for your contributions to our customers.

      Remitly says the right things but does't deliver when it comes to it's employees

      Pros

      It's easy to tell that Remitly wants to create a positive environment for it's employees. There is a focus on work life balance, reflected by it's flexible PTO and hybrid work policies. There is a focus on hiring diversity and creating an inclusive space. Culture at Remitly is generally positive and the mission is a great one that is easy to get behind.

      Cons

      Remitly has a terrible yearly review process that results in talented employees feeling shafted. The cost of living adjustment for most employees this year was less than half the rate of inflation. Pay in general seems low for most employees, year after year the company survey shows that low pay is a major concern for, but I have yet to see anything being done about this. Remitly has a meeting heavy culture that bogs down calendars and meeting spaces in their Seattle office. Despite Remitly declaring that they are a hybrid company, they make it obvious that they would prefer their employees to be in person. Despite this, they are unwilling to institute any COVID policy that might protect employees while in office.
