Pros

The scale of what's being built is genuinely interesting and you get a sense of the product ambition across all teams working here. It's an exciting time to be around, the growth is huge. Colleagues are friendly and helpful, really great office with events etc, lots of just getting on with it.

Cons

It's a scale up, so if you've been at one before you know what that means: processes that don't exist yet, the occasional lack of clarity on who owns what, things moving fast. None of this is unusual or surprising, just worth knowing going in. If you need structure handed to you might grate. If you're fine rolling your sleeves up it's fine.

Pros

Working at Airwallex has been an incredibly rewarding experience, especially as part of the sales team. The company is in a very strong growth phase, which makes it an exciting place to be. Over the past few years, Airwallex has scaled rapidly, processing hundreds of billions in payments annually. There are clear career progression opportunities if you perform. Leadership is supportive of internal mobility, and high performers are recognized and promoted. You’re surrounded by smart, driven colleagues who are collaborative and willing to help, which creates a motivating environment day to day.

Cons

Like most high-growth companies, things can move fast and change quickly, which may not suit everyone. There can be pressure to perform given the pace and ambition of the company.
