Pros

+ Great opportunities for influence + Genuinely cares about diversity and inclusion

- Moving fast means sometimes things aren't done perfectly. - a small company means sometimes execs are involved at a level of detail that hinders progress

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback! I'm glad you see opportunities for influence -- that's a great thing about joining a new and rapidly growing business ... we're still figuring things out and we want your help/thoughts! I'm also * very* happy that you know we care genuinely and deeply about DEI. Good advice that 'moving fast means sometimes things aren't done perfectly'. I think that's a challenge of a rapidly growing business but we'll always work hard (with your partnership/influence!) to get the most important things right as we scale. And appreciate you sharing that sometimes execs are involved at a level of detail that hinders progress. I'll be mindful of that going forward and, if you ever have any specific examples you want to share so I can help, please swing by my next office hours so we can chat. I'm grateful you're part of the team. Thanks again for your feedback!

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.
