Pros

nothing? Fine... Perhaps the fake impression that they are a cool company. And... Getting current employees to leave good reviews of the firm and make everything look rosy.

Cons

- Terribly rude CEO and management. - Shady and high risk business decisions made. If you are interviewing for compliance role, it is best you walk away now. The turnover for compliance team is crazy and if you are smart enough, you will know why. - Stop managing people by fear. Stop making people feel stupid by screaming at them and treating them like slaves. Then again, if you are white, probably life won't be as bad. - Stop hiring a bunch of no experience and knows nothing about fintech strategy people to determine the future of the company. What is the point of hiring someone with consulting background with no relevant experience. - if you are reading this as a interview candidate, my one and only suggestion to you is Don't Join. There's just too many cons.. don't look at the 5 star reviews cause they are Mostly fake. Look at the 1 or 2 stars. Sincere advice and for your own good.

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.

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.
