Pros

The typical startup stuff - food, beer, coffee and table tennis. Adjustable desk, screens and laptop. Three potential.

Cons

Micromanagement. Tech and design debt. Lack of decent leadership and culture. Young team. Poor maturity in product and design practise with limited openness to learn. What you can churn out for them culture.

Thank you for your review. As a current employee of Airwallex, we would encourage you to take the opportunity to raise these issues with a member of our leadership team or HR Dept so that we can workshop solutions together. We are committed to creating a culture of innovation, high performance, and fun but this relies heavily on the whole team engaging in this goal by contributing to, and helping to drive, positive changes. We hope that you will engage with this and help us identify areas for improvement and ways we can strengthen the business culture. As a leadership team, we are limited in our ability to make these changes unless the team is open and honest about their needs and provide constructive feedback, and ideas for optimal solutions. We hope to hear from you soon.

Pros

High autonomy and agency. As a senior IC I have leadership's trust in driving my work, engaging with partner executives and generating new ideas and partnerships. Clear line of sight into how my work positively impacts the company. I can draw the line between my effort and that enabling a small or large part of our success. Diverse product and partner work. I work with large and small partners and across our entire product offering, which keeps my day to day fresh and diverse. Great people, all hard working, smart and well credentialed.

Cons

Global team makes for frequent night time calls, if something can't be handled over Slack. Hard driving. There's lots to do and big ambitions, so everyone is spread thin working on high priority/impact projects.
