- "Contractors don't have too much opportunities to really connect with employees outside of their team" (in 3 reviews)

Pros
Great company to work at. Especially in the Fund Admin world.
Cons
No cons really. Pretty happy
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Decently High salary for fund admin, good perks, equity grant
Cons
As an associate fund controller I was the primary point of contact for 15+ (Smaller) clients which lead to an unsustainable workload. They are hiring so quickly to keep up with growth but don’t invest in proper training, leaving those of us who prove ourselves competent to pick up the slack. This also led to high turnover. I was at Carta for under a year and know many others who left before a year as well. I felt that many of the fund controllers who I worked with that were senior to me were lacking technical knowledge and I didn’t have much oversight. My team emphasized work/life balance which is nice in theory, but I found whenever I took time off I would come back to a mountain of work and unanswered emails.

Pros
The approach they have on how every individual is a contributor, a valued owner who can speak up in a safe space is incredible.
Cons
A lot of slack and way too many tools to get job done efficiently.
Continue reading - Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
The team has great culture and leadership is always supportive.
Cons
It was hard to voice clients' concerns most of the times because the features requested isn't aligned with the business plan that the leadership has.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
None I can think of - stay away
Cons
- Management sets no clear expectations. There is no clear communication between teams. There is constant change that is not being communicated correctly and therefore the change reduces productivity - Executives do not care about their employees. CEO is hell-bent on returning to office despite facing major backlash from employees - There is no salary negotiation and no upward mobility. The only reward for doing a good job? You get to do other people's jobs too - There is no type of flexibility. They give you a schedule with timed bathroom breaks and lunches. Ridiculous. Oh, and you can't take PTO if anyone else is out that day. Reminds me a lot of high school - They expect you to arrive 20 minutes before your shift everyday for a customer service role. What a joke. Not to mention the compensation and recognition is subpar. They think occasionally throwing $25 in Doordash credit will fix the issue - They expect you to give them all of your time - blatant disrespect for lack of work-life balance and when you try to stand up for yourself, they guilt trip you into being complacent

Pros
Leadership are open in discussing state of the company. People are helpful and nice. Trying really hard to establish the culture.
Cons
Reorg are often and sometimes plans are not properly established. Technical team is quite young.

Pros
The emphasis on kindness, transparency, ownership are values that attracted me to Carta in the first place. I've found that the company works to re-enforce these values from the top down. My voice has been dismissed in previous roles, or others have taken credit for my work, but at Carta, I see my teammates giving credit where it is due, celebrating each other, listening, and taking action on feedback. Henry Ward is open, honest, and does their best to improve and grow while balancing the needs of the employees and the needs of the business. I do not always agree with the decisions of Henry or leadership, but I appreciate that they keep us informed and hear us out. The private equity space is an exciting and interesting domain.
Cons
As with other fast growing companies, there's a lot of changes and ambiguity to navigate
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Love the culture. My favorite place to date
Cons
needs more career development in. my opinion.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Lots of smart people and $800M war chest
Cons
Daily chaos, poor management, rotten culture
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Benefits, work environment and growth
Cons
I don't see any cons right now
