Pros

I am a tenured employee at Remitly, and what originally drew me to stay with the company as long as I have was the commitment to culture and values. However, as we’ve continued to grow, leadership has allowed culture and values to be undermined and are now rather a marketing mechanism for customer acquisition. We don’t value diversity, we take advantage of those in underrepresented groups and are contanstly changing policies that worsen culture rather than promote it.

Cons

Remitly needs to employ pay transparency. They allow people to change roles, sometimes to complete different job functions and continue to pay them the same way. Salaries are no longer competitive and to top it off, we are overworking tenured employees and paying them less than new employees.
