Pros

has funding looks good on a resume unlimited money in marketing

Cons

nothing is working right on the inside hires people from elite schools who doesn't know anything. blame culture is strong whenever something goes bad and the company is a full-blown Chinese culture. There's nothing Aussie about the company besides being incorporated here if you're not from an elite school, don't think of even making a dent in your influence at the middle/top management CEO has an ego of an elephant, but doesn't know anything about the market, and micromanages everything

Airwallex Response

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to read that you would not recommend Airwallex as an employer. The business is growing rapidly and we acknowledge that there are certainly lots of ways we can improve; we are a large team of almost 600 people, across many global locations and we value the input of all team members to foster these improvements. Our team is made up of people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. All candidates are subject to a multi-stage hiring process which is designed to understand their ability to help us achieve our ambitious company goals - their skills, experience, and attitude are assessed, usually by stakeholders from multiple areas of the business before they are considered for hire. We are seeing feedback that indicates we need to be more transparent about this process to dispel this perception that an individual's education is the only criteria for hire - this is not the case, but we understand that this could drive disillusion or a lack of confidence for the the individual in relation to their own opportunity for progression. Your feedback is appreciated.

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.
