A fantastic opportunity to work with and learn from the best: a visionary founder, an energetic and powerful CEO and a diverse and multi-skilled senior management team. A rare chance to be part of a firm which competes successfully in a global commercial environment with an underlying social purpose. Don't think too much about the free breakfasts, flexible working arrangements and other employee perks which you'll get --- the real benefit is the invaluable experience and learnings that will stay with you forever.
Cons
If you are not a high achiever or a person who wants to constantly improve, win and be successful in business, then you'll probably find some insignificant cons. Otherwise, you'll understand that business and the road to success is often bumpy, but worth it at the end.
WorldRemit Response

Thanks so much for your review, we're delighted that you're enjoying the opportunity to have a real impact here.
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.
