      A culture of ownership - Anonymous employee Remitly Employee Review

      Pros

      I've been at Remitly for some time, and I am still here because of the incredible culture of ownership and development we have. I have the autonomy to determine how to deploy my skills and strengths to both develop professionally and add the most value to the business. That level of ownership is not only encouraged but expected. It's not for everyone, but for me being able to determine how I can best grow the business and allocate my time accordingly is incredibly fulfilling.

      Cons

      We've had some "good problems" in that we have grown so rapidly (employees, customers, complexity, countries) that we've had to continuously improve in order to maintain our culture, work effectively together, and keep pace is individuals with the company's growth. I think our cultural values enable us to tackle these inevitable growth challenges, but change can be tough sometimes.

      Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm so happy that you're part of the team and I'm so grateful for your contributions to Remitly over the past +5 years (more than half the life of the company!). We wouldn't be here without you and I can tell from your comment that you live our "Be an Owner" value. Thanks also for helping us continuously improve our culture and to help us tackle the "good problems" that you mention. We're lucky that you're part of the team!

      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.
