Pros

They offer great things, amazing benefits, work life balance and fair wages.

Cons

During background check, be mindful that they require someone with very little amount of credit cards/accounts. Despite disclosing information before hand and completing all their tasks DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOB. Robinhood will lure you and then the day before your first day they may give you a call to tell you "You have too many accounts" even if you are current AND WITHDRAW THEIR OFFER. So if your current employer does not have an issue with all of that, even if you have disclose it in your U4 and its all good, Robinhood may still pull the rug from underneath your feet and would not care even if you are left unemployed in the middle of a pandemic.

Pros

I've never felt compelled to write a company review before now, so here goes. I have been employed at Robinhood - Lake Mary for just over a year now. At times it's been frustrating, tiring, and aggravating, long hours and late nights. But, within the past year I have been exposed to more facets and departments within a clearing firm, than in my previous 8+ years are other clearing firms and in the end it's been worth it. I got exposure to the whole wheel and not just a cog in the wheel, I was allowed outside of the proverbial silo to explore new areas. Robinhood allows you to flourish, expand your horizons and increase your knowledge base. Recently there was some apprehension with regards to compensation, would Robinhood be the change they are attempting to me or status quo. Robinhood put their money with their mouth is, listened to it's employees, HR and compensated fairly. I took a risk leaving an established firm and coming to Robinhood, I can honestly say I made the best decision career wise in my life.

Cons

The only con would be the ambiguous nature of the job, if you are a person that prefers structure and being told what to do daily, Robinhood is not a place for you. You get what you put into it.

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.
