Vantaggi
It's easy to tell that Remitly wants to create a positive environment for it's employees. There is a focus on work life balance, reflected by it's flexible PTO and hybrid work policies. There is a focus on hiring diversity and creating an inclusive space. Culture at Remitly is generally positive and the mission is a great one that is easy to get behind.
Svantaggi
Remitly has a terrible yearly review process that results in talented employees feeling shafted. The cost of living adjustment for most employees this year was less than half the rate of inflation. Pay in general seems low for most employees, year after year the company survey shows that low pay is a major concern for, but I have yet to see anything being done about this. Remitly has a meeting heavy culture that bogs down calendars and meeting spaces in their Seattle office. Despite Remitly declaring that they are a hybrid company, they make it obvious that they would prefer their employees to be in person. Despite this, they are unwilling to institute any COVID policy that might protect employees while in office.
