      Cognitive dissonance - Anonymous employee Remitly Employee Review

      Pros

      Remote/hybrid work options, customer-centric mission, interesting work, reasonable hours, competitive pay, fun office environment, weekly lunches, verbal recognition of good work

      Cons

      The company markets a mission of serving immigrants but ironically the leadership is comprised mainly of white men and women who seem to discriminate against workers of color. There has been an exodus of minority talent and the company won’t release attrition data by gender/race. Steer clear if you are a woman of color and want to keep your mental health intact.

      Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad that you appreciated our customer centric mission and culture. Overall though, I’m sorry to hear that you’re no longer with the company and that your experience at Remitly was not positive. I care deeply about fostering an equitable workplace where diverse talent thrives and every Remitlian feels recognized and included. It’s an ongoing journey that we are committed to, and we will continue to invest in our DEI initiatives like affinity groups and related employee resources and training, as well as continuously improve our capabilities around voluntary self-ID and reporting to help us better understand how we can support varied lived experiences and identities of our teammates. I will take your feedback to heart that we still have work to do. Thank you again for sharing and for your contributions to Remitly during your three years with the company.

      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.
