Pros

- People across all teams are super intelligent - Different problems every day - never get bored - Company is set up for long-term success - you should feel good about your equity compensation - Leadership - although terse - is very approachable and in the weeds - Culture is very mission-oriented - Good comp and perks (lunch, snacks, free commuting, etc)

Cons

- If you're in the US and have a global role, you will work multiple evenings per week to coordinate with APAC - Don't expect Silicon Valley culture - leadership is assertive and direct - Cash bonus targets are lower than typical - but company typically pays 100%+ of target

Pros

Working at Airwallex has been an incredibly rewarding experience, especially as part of the sales team. The company is in a very strong growth phase, which makes it an exciting place to be. Over the past few years, Airwallex has scaled rapidly, processing hundreds of billions in payments annually. There are clear career progression opportunities if you perform. Leadership is supportive of internal mobility, and high performers are recognized and promoted. You’re surrounded by smart, driven colleagues who are collaborative and willing to help, which creates a motivating environment day to day.

Cons

Like most high-growth companies, things can move fast and change quickly, which may not suit everyone. There can be pressure to perform given the pace and ambition of the company.
