Micromanagement. Tech and design debt. Lack of decent leadership and culture. Young team. Poor maturity in product and design practise with limited openness to learn. What you can churn out for them culture.

Thank you for your review. As a current employee of Airwallex, we would encourage you to take the opportunity to raise these issues with a member of our leadership team or HR Dept so that we can workshop solutions together. We are committed to creating 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 engage with this and help us identify areas for improvement and ways we can strengthen the business culture. As a leadership team, we are limited in our 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.

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.
