Pros

1. We have a La Marzocco coffee machine (cafe's use this machine) in the kitchen with fresh coffee beans from Patricia everyday - I don't buy coffee's anymore and i'm a coffee snob! 2. Because we're a startup and we're still relatively small, there is so much opportunity for each individual to shape and define the way teams and the company as a whole operates - whether it be establishing processes or just identifying better ways of doing things, everyone is so open-minded if it is for the betterment of the company! 3. So many interesting challenges - as we're rapidly expanding around the world, each country has different design requirements. We are constantly engaging with our overseas teams and customers to ensure we capturing the unique requirements in their local geographies. 4. Complete autonomy - all of us are empowered to take our work in the direction we see fit as long as we bring the business with us on the journey. 5. There's no process for the sake of process - large organisations have too much legacy process and documentation that take precious time away from you actually doing work of value. At Airwallex, we document only if we need to and only as much as is required, allowing us to spend nearly all of our days doing the fun stuff like customer research, rapid prototyping, usability testing, problem solving, etc.

Cons

We're growing too quickly and need more people in our design team!! Honestly, i don't have anything negative to say about my experience so far!

Pros

Working at Airwallex has been an incredibly rewarding experience, especially as part of the sales team. The company is in a very strong growth phase, which makes it an exciting place to be. Over the past few years, Airwallex has scaled rapidly, processing hundreds of billions in payments annually. There are clear career progression opportunities if you perform. Leadership is supportive of internal mobility, and high performers are recognized and promoted. You’re surrounded by smart, driven colleagues who are collaborative and willing to help, which creates a motivating environment day to day.

Cons

Like most high-growth companies, things can move fast and change quickly, which may not suit everyone. There can be pressure to perform given the pace and ambition of the company.
