Pros

Company actually lives its mission: Help everyday investor prepare well for retirement. It really is an honest financial services company - no conflicts of interests and really is on the side of the individual investor. I am working on something that is more than just trying to turn a profit. Business is continuing to grow, challenge is to support that growth, so there are lots of opportunities in product development.

Cons

Compensation needs improvement: Company expects engineers to be both skilled technologists able to work with current open source tools, and be knowledgeable of financial services and consumer space.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
