Pros

One of the best things about working at WorldRemit is the level of exposure and learning that you have access to. I was fortunate to work on a variety of projects and corporate transactions during my time at WR and was given autonomy to improve processes and professionalise the CoSec function, as WR continued to scale. WR are solving complex problems for customers which means that the day job isn’t alway easy, but customers are at the core of all decision making which makes it worthwhile. The investors and leadership team are truly focused on the customer, and this is embedded across the company. There are some brilliant people who work at WR, and they make a busy and often challenging job more fun. I learned a lot from my network at WR, and people are generous with their time and are open to collaboration (providing you are reciprocal!). I found leadership to be open to improvement and feedback and I was trusted to autonomously make improvements in my area of expertise. If you are looking to accelerate your career then WR is a great place to do that.

Cons

Working at WR is not a quiet, 9-5 role and this is because there are a lot of exciting growth opportunities ahead of the company. For me, this is not a negative, as it allowed me to gain more experience in 2.5 years than my previous role (5 years), but people should be aware of that before joining.

Pros

The main pro of working at WorldRemit is being part of a developing financial tech company. If you accept the job (please, please do not) you will find that being in the environment of helping people send money to their loved ones across the world is fun and captivating.

Cons

Unfortunately, despite a positive company value and mission, the roles offered and the management set up to delegate those roles are an all-around mess. If nothing else, the large turnover rate should indicate the toxic environment that welcomes you as you walk through the doors of WorldRemit. Let me break it down threefold: 1) WorldRemit is divided between a Denver office and a London office, where the headquarters reside. As a customer service executive - like at any other job - you will be expected to communicate with your team in order to produce the best work possible. The problem is that the London office is paid less by a very large margin and therefore, the quality of their work as they would put it is "rubbish". You are left communicating with a bunch of lazy and ignorant who appear to make your role harder as an amusement. 2) The management is a freaking joke: what do you get when you combine a few over-privileged entrepreneurs with the wish to make money at a low expense? the WorldRemit management. None of them have ever began to lead a team and the communication between them, more often than not, creates tension in the workplace rather than resolve. 3) Work-life balance. If you want anything resembling a personal life, do not take this job.
