After a recruiting email that got lost in the shuffle—things happen—I was offered a technical interview: a LeetCode problem and two values-based questions at the end. Two folks from Remitly watched as I coded an issue. One left halfway through the interview to go to another meeting. No values questions were asked. I was told at the end of the interview that the recruiter would reach out to me shortly with feedback.
It's been about two months since this interview and I have not heard any feedback—not even a rejection email. My application status has not changed on their job board.
For a company so verbally passionate about their values, they sure don't act the part. They didn't: deliver on promises, sweat the details, have a bias for action, continually improve (just read the comments to see this is a recurring issue), or be constructively direct. With all this combined, they certainly didn't earn my trust through integrity.
Value and culture are not words on a website—it's how you treat people.
I was not asked any interview questions. I was only presented with a coding problem and asked to complete it.
