I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Remitly (Seattle, WA)
Interview
After a recruiting email that got lost in the shuffle—things happen—I was offered a technical interview: a leet code problem and two values-based questions at the end. Two folks from Remitly watched as I coded an issue. One left halfway through the interview to go to another meeting. No values questions were asked. I was told at the end of the interview that the recruiter would reach out to me shortly with feedback.
It's been about two months since this interview and I have not heard any feedback—not even a rejection email. My application status has not changed on their job board.
For a company so verbally passionate about their values, they sure don't act the part. They didn't: deliver on promises, sweat the details, have a bias for action, continually improve (just read the comments to see this is a recurring issue), or be constructively direct. With all this combined, they certainly didn't earn my trust through integrity.
Value and culture are not words on a website—it's how you treat people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was not asked any interview questions. I was only presented with a coding problem and asked to complete it.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Remitly (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2026
Interview
HR call then a coding round. In the 60m coding round the actual problem needed to be solved was just 30m, rest 30 min was behavioral + talk about past projects.
The coding question wasn't a typical "this is the answer" question and it should pass these test cases.
First round was Recruiter phone screen
Second round was 1 hour technical interview (leet code)
Third round was 4 - 1 hour technical interview panel (2 coding questions one systems design one call with product manager)

Question 1
What is your experience working for a global team (ie around the world)
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Remitly
Interview
1. Recruiter Screening
2. Tech Screening with an engineer (single 1 hour interview)
3. Onsite rounds with managers, engineers, and program managers. This is usually 3 to 4 interviews with behavioral questions and whiteboard coding questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a set of bank accounts with dollar amounts and a threshold, find the number of transfers needed to get all accounts to meet the threshold amount. Be careful of edge cases, like if there isn't enough money. Some interviewers will want you to throw an error, but others may not.
For the behavioral questions, make sure that you show that you're a team player. They care about this just as much as you're individual coding skills.
