Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months.

The process was multiple rounds, starting with the recruiter, followed by the hiring manager, a system design round, a round with a business stakeholder, a round with essentially a bar raiser, and finally a round with the CTO. All rounds were fairly challenging and focused on business, technical, and cultural challenges.

Airwallex Work Experiences

Exciting place to work

Engineering Director • Current Employee

Pros: Very fast paced; people are incentivised to get things done quickly, with minimal bureaucracy, and there seems to be a clear path to success for performers.

Cons: It’s a high intensity environment, best suited to people who work well under pressure and enjoy moving fast. You’ll need to be proactive, unblock issues quickly, and adapt to shifting priorities and evolving requirements. It’s not a laid back culture, so if you're coming from a more relaxed or process heavy environment, it might take some adjustment.
