Pros

Coworkers & paid on time

Cons

I worked at WorldRemit fot 3 years. In the beginning it was a vibrant workspace, truly innovative in the Fintech environment. The workforce was diverse and full of engaged staff, lots of ideas and collaboration and really pushing the business forward. unfortunately over my three years we started to see a serious decline in the business especially in HR largely attributed to poor leadership through misguided hiring. No longer were we hiring people with a scale up mentality and more hiring of leadership who were far more interested in thier own career advancement than building great teams and fostering the culture that made WR so great. slowly people started to part ways with the business until we were left with a staff turnover unheard of in the industry. Unfortunately WR has now been left with a perception of toxic work culture trumped only by incompetent and uncaring leadership. I hate to say it, but it has been very clearly cultivated as such. I can only recommend to anyone thinking about joining WR to have serious second thoughts and research this business hard before making the decision to join. That said, it is my hope that the board and shareholders realise the huge mistakes that have lead to its decline and act quickly to restore faith in the company.

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.
