Airwallex

• Coffee, motorised standup desks, and good office chairs.
• Some good people there who are stuck due to their personal situations.

An invaluable lesson learnt!

I wish that I took these negative reviews more seriously...😒

Being born and raised in Australia, I missed out on some of the horror stories from colleagues who have previously worked in 3rd world companies, and this is your perfect opportunity to experience first hand...

• Totally lacks Australian values and culture.
• As part of on boarding you are asked to like all of company's social profile pages, follow them and write positive feedback, Seriously???
• Going through crazy growth, and majority of employees are new so no one has a clue. Everything is a priority. Deadlines can squeeze and you can be asked to deliver overnight!
• It's an in-out factory, loads of talented people joining and leaving every week.
• Company's image presented during the interview process and publicly is far from reality.
• Lack of clarity on your role and responsibilities.
• Most people appear rude and lack soft-skills.
• Not family friendly, especially not people with kids. No flexibility and Extremely long hours(frequent midnights). Team meetings at 6pm??? 9am - 6pm is necessary and overtime generally is expected.
• Increasing middle management adding to a lot of micro-management.
• Speaking up is discouraged and looked down on.
• Public shaming of employees is rather frequent and seemed common throughout the organisation.
• Lack of process and inclination towards improvements and ever-increasing tech-debt.
• Leads are hard to approach, narrow minded, set in their ways, egoistic and have absolutely no idea what leadership means. At best they are bad bosses.
• "No autonomy", don't go with some older reviews as it is clearly not the case anymore.

The best time in my tenure working at Airwallex was when I said: 'I Quit'!

There are some of the industry's top talent joining your organisation. Engineers are smart people and should get the respect that they deserve.

There are some seriously concerning facts mentioned in many reviews here on Glassdoor, and if you are still looking for advice then...
