Pros

Huge corporate growth potential, tons of opportunities in the remittance sector.

One of the hottest startups in Seattle right now, near the top of most rankings.

Remitly's building a world-class FinTech platform that can move money across continents in minutes. Technically sound but always looking for more top contributors. Great finances.

Company cultural values help define choices which leads to better decisions.

Collaborative environment, agile, with improving infrastructure.

Diversity/Inclusion is a priority, not just a buzzword.

Cons

A lot of kludgy code built for a much smaller operation holds up progress.

Many independent teams without much coordination between them.

No yearly bonus or matching 401K, med benefits mediocre.

Advice to Management

Just like having a long-term business strategy, it would be good to have a long-term technical strategy with buy-in across teams.
