Pros

Remilty is mission and value focused.

Cons

All engineers must work on-site in Seattle, according to the CTO. Only senior-level employees from Amazon are hired by the CTO. CTO makes special exceptions for Amazon folks and no one else. We lost our culture and took on the messy values of Amazon. Low morale in engineering and product Inadequate engineering leadership The CTO and engineering leadership only ever assign responsibility for their errors. ZERO work life balance.

Thank you for your feedback. Like you, I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a mission as meaningful as Remitly’s, and to be a part of an organization built on strong core values. Employee experience is a priority for me and it’s my strong desire that all of our team members experience our Joyful value first hand. We will continue to learn and grow together and deepen the strength of our culture. I'm incredibly proud of the talent we've attracted and grown at Remitly from a diversity of backgrounds, and I see the team supporting and learning from each other every day. I have taken time to reflect on the experience you shared. It is true that at Remitly we value a balance of individual flexibility and in-person connections. Working together in-person gives us great opportunities for integrating new team members, allows for deep conversations and strong outcomes, makes collaboration easier, and supports learning and development. I invite you, if feasible, to contact me directly to discuss your concerns further. Thank you for being a valuable member of the Remitly team and for your daily contributions towards our mission to serve our customers. CTO
