Pros
  • The company's mission is a good one and leadership overall still believes in doing the right thing.
  • On the engineering side, there are signs that things are changing for the better.
  • The developer tools are amazing.
Cons
  • If you need accommodations, I cannot recommend Remitly as a place to work due to the inability of HR to actually implement accommodations that they agreed to.
  • The engineering culture over indexes on building things themselves.
  • Promotions are more political than other places I've worked at.
  • The change to a new insurance provider was overall a net negative. Especially because with the change, Remitly has structured their insurance plan to make it so that they do not have to follow recent Washington State medical insurance regulations.
Advice to Management

Fix HR.
