Pros

Remitly cares about your well-being as an individual, and they are generally open to feedback regarding what they can do to best support their employees. The CEO genuinely cares about creating a product that supports immigrants, not exploits them, and most of the leadership follows that guidance.

Cons

Remitly is in that awkward growth stage where it is figuring out how to still act with the flexibility of a startup, but is truly too large to be as agile as one. Cross-team collaboration and communication can sometimes be difficult to coordinate and execute. They are aware of the problem, though. For some people, the base salary pay may not be competitive. Stock options are offered, so it's a balance between getting a larger salary now or betting on the future. I'd also recommend weighing the benefits of good work-life balance.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback. I'm so glad that you're on the team. I also really appreciate your feedback regarding the fact that Remitly is at the "awkward growth stage" and you're right that we're aware of it ... I know we'll continuously improve here (as successful companies must at our scale/size). Most importantly -- I'm so happy to hear that you know I genuinely care about creating products that support immigrants. That's definitely not always the case in the industry (or in many companies) and that's absolutely what Remitly is all about. Thank you again for being part of Team Remitly and for your feedback!

Pros

AI Native from first principles. Colleagues are strong and collaborative; this is the most consistent positive across teams. The mission is concrete: moving cross-border money for people supporting families. It informs prioritization and trade-offs. Scope and responsibility are available early to people who take them. Compensation and benefits are great. The company has a defined strategic direction under new CEO Sebastian Gunningham and is executing against it. Exciting time to be here.

Cons

Big org changes as the company reinvent, not for everyone.

Pros

The company started off to be great when I joined a few years back. Lots of hands on opportunities, some great people to work with. Benefits are good, people are valued and contributions are seen.

Cons

The company really started to go downhills in 2024 when there are constant leadership changes, mission changes, priorities changes and team orgs. Business Managers are starting to act like the "decision-maker" over pretty much all product and marketing decisions. We start to question if the direction we are focusing on is even right. Is it customer-centric still or is it more business-oriented. work life balance is bad stress is high people are no longer valued, heard or seen you know a company is going in a negative direction when you start to see tenured employees to leave, smart people to leave as well.
