Pros

The early stages when the marketing team was a startup were the best days of this company. Empathetic, caring people leading a team of professionals towards objectives. Now, it all went South. Since the IPO, it became clear to me that the company was losing its focus on the core values and mission. The good thing about the company was just that, and now it's just one more remittance entity. The new office is gorgeous and facilities help employees be happy. The pros are the great work they put out and how they used to support DEI a few years ago.

Cons

My experience: They will set you up for failure. If you speak up about it, they call you a complainer. If you stay quiet, you're not passionate enough. Things like that. When you try to go beyond your tasks and act as an owner for the benefit of the brand, you get flagged. It seems they prefer robots to humans. A lot of fake people pretending to care and to know the culture they were not born into. If you speak up about cultural relevance people doubt you. Begging to be believed about your own ethnicity is not the right environment to work in.

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.
