Pros

-Wages above the local market. -Door-to-door transportation

Cons

Their "values" and "company culture" are extremely toxic. If you’re thinking of applying, be careful—you can be fired for literally anything. While I was there, many people were let go without any proper announcement. One day they were there, the next day they were gone—CSRs, supervisors, you name it. They had the nerve to shut down an entire department and send out an email claiming it was “best for the company,” offering counseling to the remaining employees. How does closing a whole department without proper notice and laying off over 80 employees make them look good? All you can do is focus on your work and avoid conversations—no one can be trusted. You could be reported for saying something that doesn't “align” with their values, and the next day, you're out. I simply can't recommend this company to anyone. It’s the worst place I’ve had the displeasure of working for.

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.
