Pros

Many places I worked at before claim to be mission driven but Remitly is the only place where I really felt we were truly making a positive impact to people's lives. Every transfer an immigrant sends back to their family members back in their home country helps them get a better life, and every penny or time saved by customers by using the product matters a lot. I think it's rare to work at a tech company you're proud to work for primarily because of the mission and impact. Company is fast paced and you can always feel challenged to do more and learn more!

Cons

It can feel sometimes like a hectic place that lacks focus but it's also the beauty of working in a fast paced environment.

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.
