Avantages

The mission to serve the Diaspora of Africa. People who truly care about the mission. Super smart technical staff. The ability to work remotely (company is 100% remote). Opportunity to travel domestically and internationally.

Inconvénients

Leadership positions are held by people with little-to-no leadership experience. Ruthless prioritization every week, for years, has led many aspects of the company to be broken. There is not the appetite to fix problems with solutions that actually stick. The "people" of the company have not been prioritized -- on all levels -- corporate, customer support or operations (i.e. after nearly 5 years - no clear career paths, no raises, no bonuses, no ability of managers to incentivize teams or individuals with strong performance). The company takes a very knee-jerk or reactive approach to issues that arise from everyday run of business issues. While the culture promotes itself as 100% transparent and familial, all of the leadership positions are filled with friends of the founders. Often times it feels like an adult version of high school. The company does a poor job at promoting the family-like culture of it's remote workforce.

We appreciate your time working with us, and I regret that you didn’t enjoy your time working with us at Sendwave. We do have a strong team that’s excited to find ways to keep making sending money as easy as sending a text. Like many people looking to start a new business, our founders turned to their personal networks to hire the first employees. Since then, however, we have also brought in leadership from external sources and promoted people from within the company to help us in working towards our goal. In addition, we are working to build out our operational teams to appropriately support our newfound size and continued success in our mission, and keep learning.

Avantages

Great benefits (PTO, sick days, insurance) , work from home, friendly environment, room for growth, good management for the most part.

Inconvénients

Training needs to be more thourough, if you're on the customer support level there are restrictions on when you can take your PTO, YOU CANNOT HAVE THE WINTER HOLIDAYS OFF, you're required to work all the holidays and cannot take vacation from thanksgiving all the way to new year's. THAT SUCKS. That's a huge negative for me. Our shifts were changed and we were given one-two days notice to change our plans and get used to the new schedules. This particular job is very boring but if you work well, make sure you are on time, participate and a good worker overall, you can look for other opportunities.
