Remitly Employee Reviews

Remitly has a work environment like no other. Our cultural values are more than just words- they are lived by our employees across our global sites every day. My favorite value is "Aim for the Stars" because we are encouraged to overcome fear, be bold, strategic, and own all aspects of our work to deliver great customer experiences.

"Lead Authentically" is one of Remitly's values, and one of mine! An example of staying accessible through authenticity is instigating and participating in weekly "self care" and "learning" checkins at standups. It's my hope that admitting imperfection makes it easier for my reports to come to me if they have any kind of problem.
