Pros

Multicultural work environment, all other associates were really nice, very helpful and knowledgeable trainers, office is very nice

Cons

Unfortunately there is more cons than pros when working for remitly…some management don’t have a clue what they are doing and seem to get a kick out of bullying people out of their roles which I saw with my owns eyes while working at remitly. A lot of promises were broken to associates who had taken the role back in April/May with people claiming they didn’t know about the changes which were coming down the line very soon after we started but this was proven a lie shortly thereafter. Shifts are absolutely horrendous (I did hear this was suppose to be changing before I left but with Remitly, who really knows?), absolutely no work life balance, 2 weekends a month, no supplement for working until 12AM or starting at 6AM, no parking, no reimbursement for parking which costs a fortune every week, no work from home option, constant gossiping and arms and legs growing onto rumours which are started in the office as associates are told nothing and are only told a couple of days before changes are brought in. Lack of communication between management, some teams are told different information to other teams (hence the rumours), people being rejected for visa sponsorship when we had someone sent over to help people with this (apparently new measures have been put in place), instead of help for visas or increasing the salary remitly decided to cut the working hours by one hour every week. Cut costing measures that were put in place later this year resulted in the company removing benefits from employees. No bonuses. Very limited career opportunities if you don’t ‘fit the mold’ (basically if you don’t need your mouth shut)

Pros

I started recently in customer protection and love the office. It's one of the nicest in Cork and I can't complain about the facilities. Being not Irish there's a nice diversity here and I feel comfortable and like there's opportunities ti grow and develop myself

Cons

None really so far, the location is good

It Bad

Pros

The job is really easy and there's a lot of really good people that still work here and Remitly is an equal opportunities employer and opportunities to progress do come up every so often. The benefits are pretty good. Matt Oppenheimer (the CEO) is a nice guy

Cons

A lot of those really good people plan to leave. The opportunities to progress are because people do not enjoy working here and leave at first opportunity. HR, Facilities and a certain CPA manager enjoy bullying their subordinates out of the company, a few great employees have left the company in the past because of this and I can go on for days about their lack of qualifications in their current role. The working hours are absolutely terrible. Time is constantly wasted in pointless meetings that ultimately waste time, serve no purpose and fix no problems. No one cares about the company values, especially the HR and Facilities managers, NEVER work here if you've an interest in either of those fields.
