Pros

Having to work remotely so saves you time

Kontras

Pay; You have localised pay yet the amount of work is the same, life is Kenya is not easy or cheap. You pay $17 yet this is not even half of what Kenyans get😡 You want the team to live in areas where theres enough security , good internet connection and yet they cant afford to do so as the pay is very very little. Why dont you try and consider retaining your support reps? Employee turnover is high, and thats why you keep on training. If you could pay half of what reps in other countries are getting , it would be great. cheap labour mentality🤬🤬😡

Thank you for your time working with Sendwave so far. Our compensation is fully transparent, from support reps to our CEO, because we are confident in the methodology we use to set salaries. We localized our salaries in all departments in 2020, and used extensive compensation research to make this process as fair as possible. In markets where the cost of living is higher, the salary reflects that.

Pros

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.

Kontras

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.
