A lot of words with no real action ​

Pros

Fast paced and nice people

Cons

Over the last month or so we've found out that there are a lot of interoffice relationships, which shouldn't be happening. My question to our management team is why is this happening and how can you correct it. Maybe tighten up the policies in the office and cut down on the fraternization to create a more professional environment. Management has acknowledged that things are wrong here but so far no major changes have taken place, which is unnerving. In response to a comment in a previous review "Just because someone does not get fired does not mean the company didn't investigate. People are quick to jump to conclusions without having facts they are not entitled to have", this is true. I am aware that Robinhood has investigated the relationships in the office and all of them are confirmed. These are facts and we all know that here. What makes many of us uncomfortable is that there has been no re-assignment of these employees into different departments or onto different teams. Romantic and sexual relationships have no business happening in a professional work environment, especially when it happens with managers and subordinates. This office is very cliquey and it's always interesting to see who is talking down about who. Small groups around who are typically uninviting to others. Just an observation ​

Pros

Amazing pay and benefits, but that's pretty standard for tech.

Cons

Management consists of a bunch of con artists that brag about their Master degrees from Ivy Leagues but have extremely poor people skills. We just recently lost our 3rd CMO. I've witnessed more than 4 people in management positions quit within less than a year. The founders get extremely jealous when the attention is not on them during All-Hands, even if it is just to listen to them rant about basketball. The culture here consists of the "OGs" who have zero backbone and their only reasoning for justifying any decision making is "Because the founders said so." They are so far removed from what the actual public perception of this brand is and get very defensive when people bring that point up in order to inform marketing strategies. The mass hiring of management positions that happened leading up to and after the IPO created a hostile power-tripping environment of people who pound their fists about which Big Tech company they came from before this. I can go on and on, but I'm anticipating this to be the next WeWork or Fyre Festival documentary.

Pros

Friendly employees and interesting vision

Cons

I have heard some talk throughout our office lately and after reading a review titled "Toxic environment with inappropriate sexual relationships between management and subordinates" I wanted to chime in. This was sent to me by another employee here and i felt like I could give some insight. This is something to be concerned about and is happening inside our office. Word travels fast and when something happens it does not take long for others to learn about it. Over the last few months there have been a couple relationships that have turned over here, mainly from people bragging or talking to friends about it (which is how I heard about things). I do feel that our company is pretty professional for the most part but I don't think they have acted so recently. I am glad to hear that there are other people here who are uncomfortable about co-workers hooking up but that does not address all of the problems with it. This creates an awkward work environment and I can see why people are unhappy enough to come forward about it. I think Robinhood needs to take some control of what is happening and listen to what others are saying. The other review mentioned a "professional and safe" work environment and I can say while I don't feel "unsafe" with my physical surrounds here, there is a definite level of discomfort knowing about these relationships happening and no sort of change happening.
