Pros

Market rate salary and great benefits.

Cons

Shockingly bad management. Huge staff turnover for such a small London office and there is a good reason for that - management.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I'm glad you mention you have been happy with our compensation and benefits, I am really saddened to read about your overall experience. We take your comment about the high turnover and management style very seriously. We have lost one employee since March 2020 when COVID started. Every employee matters and we were sorry to lose this person. We deeply care about our teams and we will work even harder to continue to improve our employee environment and make sure we treat all our employees fairly. If you'd ever be open to meeting with me so I can learn more, I would appreciate the opportunity to hear your perspective. This will help us improve as a business and help us fulfill our mission, which we care about deeply.

Pros

AI Native from first principles. Colleagues are strong and collaborative; this is the most consistent positive across teams. The mission is concrete: moving cross-border money for people supporting families. It informs prioritization and trade-offs. Scope and responsibility are available early to people who take them. Compensation and benefits are great. The company has a defined strategic direction under new CEO Sebastian Gunningham and is executing against it. Exciting time to be here.

Cons

Big org changes as the company reinvent, not for everyone.

Pros

The company started off to be great when I joined a few years back. Lots of hands on opportunities, some great people to work with. Benefits are good, people are valued and contributions are seen.

Cons

The company really started to go downhills in 2024 when there are constant leadership changes, mission changes, priorities changes and team orgs. Business Managers are starting to act like the "decision-maker" over pretty much all product and marketing decisions. We start to question if the direction we are focusing on is even right. Is it customer-centric still or is it more business-oriented. work life balance is bad stress is high people are no longer valued, heard or seen you know a company is going in a negative direction when you start to see tenured employees to leave, smart people to leave as well.
