Pros
- Crazy gifs in all-hands slides - Awesome people and camaraderie. Incredible group of engineers, designers, mathematicians, scientists, brokers, etc all with incredibly varied (and impressive) experiences. - There is a certain adrenaline and excitement seeing so many people placing trades on your platform, often participating in the market for the first time, or investing in ways never possible before. - Also the product is badass.
Cons
- Unlike other startups at this stage, compliance is taken extremely seriously, and you are often reminded of this at work. Honestly it's not that bad, and it's a big part of robinhood's success, but you can't go tweeting stuff willy nilly.
