Pros

Benefits Co workers Casual environment Work from home

Cons

It’s tough to put a rating on Robinhood. At first everything was exciting and different. Then leading up to IPO and post IPO things began to change quickly. In a recent meeting Vlad said his CEO rating was going down probably because of the current stock price. At that moment I realized he had no finger on the pulse of the company any more. The reason his rating is going down is because so many peole that were loyal and believed in the mission have been taken advantage of. They had their equity comp taken from them and been passed for promotions by outside hiring time and time again. Only to train their new boss and have roles and responsibilities taken from them. The environment that use to feel fun now feels corporate and leaderships answer to make everyone feel better is shipping products. The ones that care and try to voice concerns of employees turnover only get candid answers from leadership saying it’s natural from company growth. People really don’t voice how they feel because they need a job and the benefits. First rule of business. Take care of your people. Robinhood will continue to stand out from traditional brokerages because the competition is infamous for burn out, poor ethics, pushy sales, and shady business. However has time goes by the employees who helped Robinhood pre IPO see the signs of it becoming the same.

Pros

- Not super micromanagey culture unless you get stuck with a micromangey manager - good pay + stocks - interesting work - easy to jump teams - nice managers for the most part and peers - i had good work life balance as long as u get ur work done u can choose ur hours

Cons

- a lot of approvals needed to get work completed. You need to make everyone happy in order to ship something and that takes alot of work and most of your day is in meetings or prepping for these meetings instead of just doing the work. - reorgs happen often - the vibes were not great in the creative function.
