Pros

Inspirational Founder's story and some good people but most have either left or are desperately trying to get out

Cons

A leadership team that has not got the support of most of their staff Decisions taking months to be made and then made out of panic and costing large amounts of money Surveys undertaken apparently to listen to the employees but no changes made A global redundancy programme announced by the leadership team on the day of an employees funeral at the same time as saying they would not be impacted themselves and then carried out without empathy or knowledge by the completely incompetent HR department An HR team so poor that there is no consistency in recruitment, no proper induction, payroll mistakes have even included people being paid twice, incorrect tax payments & paperwork. Any request for help is met with silence. Salaries well under market. No payrises or bonuses this year. No reward for loyalty and the sabbatical scheme has been cancelled. No culture left and with the the office about to close for the summer and then reopen in a space so small no teams will be able to get together This is a business in crisis. People are looking to leave almost as soon as they arrive and realise the mistake they have made and all the time the leadership team ignores it and blames others

Pros

The main pro of working at WorldRemit is being part of a developing financial tech company. If you accept the job (please, please do not) you will find that being in the environment of helping people send money to their loved ones across the world is fun and captivating.

Cons

Unfortunately, despite a positive company value and mission, the roles offered and the management set up to delegate those roles are an all-around mess. If nothing else, the large turnover rate should indicate the toxic environment that welcomes you as you walk through the doors of WorldRemit. Let me break it down threefold: 1) WorldRemit is divided between a Denver office and a London office, where the headquarters reside. As a customer service executive - like at any other job - you will be expected to communicate with your team in order to produce the best work possible. The problem is that the London office is paid less by a very large margin and therefore, the quality of their work as they would put it is "rubbish". You are left communicating with a bunch of lazy and ignorant who appear to make your role harder as an amusement. 2) The management is a freaking joke: what do you get when you combine a few over-privileged entrepreneurs with the wish to make money at a low expense? the WorldRemit management. None of them have ever began to lead a team and the communication between them, more often than not, creates tension in the workplace rather than resolve. 3) Work-life balance. If you want anything resembling a personal life, do not take this job.
