Pros
Customer focused, Fast Growing (creating tons of learning and opportunity), Rewarding, Global company. I want meaningful work, to make a real difference for customers and within the company, and learn from smart people around the world who will challenge and support my growth. I am getting all of that at Remitly, better than any company I've worked for. It feels like the CEO and entire leadership team genuinely care about customers and employees, and about growing the business to help even more immigrants. It's not just a bunch of bros trying to get rich. People talk about, try to live up to and help each other with the values every day, so the culture is not just posters on the wall. Decent benefits including personal travel reimbursement to explore developing countries. Women execs, vp's and directors recently hired; as is true across tech, still room for improvement on diversity, heard we're posting new D&I director opening.
Cons
Going through global growth burst right now, which creates some challenges with org changes and role clarity. It's a tech-led company, so the mix of personalities and talent across engineering, product, marketing, support, business have to learn to work together in new ways. Scrappy so don't yet have a lot of formal development programs, but new talent director just hired and everyone is creating dev plans, so getting better? Every high-growth company I've been in has these challenges. Much better and more fun problems to solve vs those in shrinking companies, which I've also experienced!
