Horrific People Management - Developer Airwallex Employee Review

Thank you for your review. Airwallex has enjoyed rapid growth, particularly over the past 12 months. The engineering team in Melbourne has grown from approx. 15 to 45 people over this period. This fast growth and role requirements has meant that external hiring has been necessary at times, but we are proud that many of the existing team have been promoted into more senior roles and we continue to work to identify those within the team who are ready to step into these leadership roles as they become available. Our team is diverse however we are always looking to find ways to promote more diversity, particularly within our Engineering Team which is heavily male dominated, as is reflected across the industry. If you have any ideas on how we can do this, we would love your input. Due to our rapid growth, we have had to move some teams to another site - this known to be a short-term solution as we work to expand our offices and bring everyone back together again, we made the decision to ensure these teams were housed within the same building so that there was opportunity for everyone to continue working together and socialising as much as possible. We are concerned to read your comments around being personally criticised and would ask that you please speak with a member of the leadership team or the HR Dept about these instances. We want all team members to feel safe and welcomed and feedback such as this will be taken seriously, however, it is impossible for us to address if not raised directly. We are doing our best to create a culture of innovation, high performance, and fun but this relies heavily on the whole team engaging in this goal by contributing to, and helping to drive, positive changes. We hope that you will rise to the challenge and help us identify areas for improvement and ways we can strengthen the business culture. Leaders are limited in their ability to make these changes unless the team is open and honest about their needs and provide constructive feedback, and ideas for optimal solutions. We hope to hear from you soon.
