Pros

Their aim is to make a difference to migrants - excellent thought , poorly executed Very diverse workforce Good benefits Met some people who were bravely holding the fort together

Cons

Wildly swinging on marketing activity overnight Millions of pounds poured into campaigns that people criticised under their breath in , overnight taken away and poured into another direction. Spent as much time doing work as undoing it. Lack of any strategy whatsoever -Seemed like people were pushing and pulling in all separate directions and the car refused to move ahead. The worst was that the company enabled managers with terrible behavior, bullies and people who should not be allowed near a workplace at all. The crazy hours were not due to anything except for the lack of planning and coordination between teams based remotely and work life balance was not even a concept.

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.
