Pros

- Solid pay and benefits (relatively typical for tech companies, however). - Moderate to mild respect for customer perspectives (better than some companies, I guess.)

Cons

- Absolutely terrible work-life balance across all product teams. Robinhood moves from one disaster to the next, trying to find its footing amongst mediocre product launches. - Unreasonable requests from leadership constantly derail product efforts and create chaos amongst peers. - Cult-like worship of upper management and a zero tolerance attitude dissenting opinions. - Awful prioritization of resource allocation; product teams are highly reactive and seldom understand limitations of their work. - One of the worst marketing teams this side of the U.S.; firing the CMO hardly had an effect on useless marketing practices. - Promotions are driven by blind peer feedback mechanisms that hardly encourage transparency or authenticity. Significant bias in promotion processes and quotas for promoting employees (encourages extremely unhealthy competition). - Absence of diversity across leadership. Where is leadership representation for the BIPOCs that the company supposedly cares so much about (particularly Latin/black employees?) It is all a facade. - Toxic culture of gossip, cutthroat behaviors, and high school-like cliques that are unwelcoming of new employees.

Pros

Working in support is very easy, all you have to do is respond to customer issues. Free lunch is nice. Medical benefits are very good. If you are young there will be lots of people your own age at work. The pay is above average for the basic work that you do. Stretch opportunities and projects here and there. Awesome career building job for non-support staff. Fun outings and amazing work-life balance.

Cons

Very cliquey, almost feels like high school. Everyone is having sex with each other. If you've ever wanted to be in a season of The Office, come work at Robinhood! Not many advancement opportunities for support staff. If you're not in the "cool kids" circle, you will get talked down on/talked about behind your back. You should not apply to a support job at Robinhood expecting advancement. You will be given call-center type of work with stretch opportunities, but those opportunities may or may not translate into a promotion regardless of how good of a job you do. There is a good deal of favoritism and those who are close with or friends with individuals at the top will get higher positions and roles. This is not a whiny personal complaint because I did not get promoted, this is a genuine fact that many here have experienced.
