Pros
- For the most part, really incredible coworkers. This is a driven team that moves fast and isn't afraid to make mistakes - Leadership tries to be transparent in the form of weekly team meetings - Benefits are good for the most part (but no 401K match, which is terrible for a company whose mission is to empower people and their money).
Cons
- There have been lots of firings in general, but particularly in the marketing department there is a lot of turnover (people choosing to leave). - Extreme lack of diversity despite efforts from the recruiting team - Lack of organization around changing products/marketing tactics. There are a lot of "top down" mandates that have to be prioritized without taking into account previous strategy or team goals. - Almost every team is severely understaffed. This makes our work as a marketing team difficult. - Don't interview for Betterment for Business. Just don't do it. That team is run to the ground with work and managers care more about keeping the department financially afloat than they do about their clients. - Getting ahead here is all about visibility. - Data driven organization with few data resources. The Analytics team is unhelpful. - Company culture has suffered over the past year. Rapid growth and moving to a new office has made this company feel less like a family than in previous years.
