Pros

Like the company location in Newmarket, it is a little bit far from the city, but you always drive against the traffic so no problem if you have a car. XE has a fascinating story. It started with two Canadian entrepreneurs and they created the best-known brand for online currency converter application. Although both of them are not in the company after acquisition by Euronet, you can find few loyal and fantastic employees that love what they are doing. XE pay is slightly above the industry average and also provides benefits for full-time employees. Depends on the team you are, you can expose to interesting projects and improve your skills.

Cons

The main challenge is XE is in transitioning from a small /mid-size business to become corporate. As a result, no clear objectives and strategies defined, and it causing lots of confusion. In this situation, anything you deliver is not aligned with the expectation. So you may feel you are always not good enough to make them happy.

Pros

Very active team communication, employee benefits

Cons

The HR team floods sites like these with positive reviews to drown out the slew of negative reviews that exist. You get hired to work for one company and end up responsible for that role across Xe, Ria, Dandelion, John Lewis, and whatever other brands they spontaniously absorb. Pay does not reflect work effort expected. Rely heavily on AI generated content with little to no sense checking. Denver office is NOT diverse. It's extremely clique-y and the price to enter the club is not worth the trouble. Xe and Ria are nepotism's best friends. They're unpredictable, make decisions that break downstream systems without care, and will radically change your responsibilities at the drop of a hat. Do not recommend.
