“If you are a minority, think twice”
ProsThis is a company with a great mission of helping immigrants and their families. There is respect for different cultural traditions and a focus on trying to understand and do right by customers.
Thanks to sourcing from ADA, remitly is also home to many people who are trans, non binary, etc., to the degree that diversity of gender expression is very normalized.
ConsThe majority of senior leadership and board members are white, male, and very out of touch with the immigrant experience. This is reflected in how the company is run and how minority employees are treated. Minority attrition is high—almost all the black and Latina women I knew at Remitly have left. 4 white/asian women have personally cried to me about the microaggressions and gaslighting they experience in the workplace. Minority men tend to grow into leadership positions only if they ‘act the part’ by cozying up to white boys club type exec leadership. Those who don’t have expressed to me that they feel undervalued/denied promotions despite consistently delivering high quality work. Additionally, women at Remitly generally have little to no shot at leadership positions, almost all female execs are external hires, though this may be changing as 1-2 women were promoted to sr leadership in the past 6 months (still hard to tell if this is tokenization or not). Sum: Remitly is not a place where minorities can authentically get the sponsors they need to grow. If you aren’t male, or even if you are male and don’t want to rise by bringing others down, think twice before joining.
