Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
I interviewed with Remitly and it was not a good interview experience to me. After I applied for Remitly, I went straight to phone screen. Unfortunately, the interview looks not interested during the interview. We started by introducing ourself and the interviewer seems not care about my past experience at all. After that, the interviewer started to copy and past questions. There was no interactive communication in between other than I code and the interviewer watched I code ...

Remitly Work Experiences
- 1.0Stay awaySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, WashingtonJanuary 29, 2026Pros: Food, wlb is okay. PipCons: Frequent reorganization, management changes a lot
- 4.0Good company to work forSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, WashingtonApril 4, 2024Pros: The work is aligned with my morals. The compensation seems pretty good.Cons: The backend is a mess of spaghetti code. MBAs in HR seem to be making changes to vacations and compensation to hide details or reduce payouts.
- 2.0Blindsided with a PIP instead of a layoffsSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMay 8, 2025Pros: It used to be a great place to work.Cons: I worked here for a couple of years. My quarterly reviews and talk with management were great and very positive. All of a sudden, me and several other engineers in the company were given PIPs with wild "improvement" metrics (i.e. no feedback on code in 30 days) that are completely counter to what improvement means. We believe it was a way to "layoff" a percentage of the workforce without actually calling it a layoff for legal reasons. I saw a job listing go up for my position, offering a lower salary than what I was paid. It didn't feel great to see that. No matter what you are told, in the end this is just another business.
