Amazing culture with approachable leadership, but needs tech updates

Pros

The culture here is truly amazing; I’ve never met a leader who wasn’t approachable or willing to assist. Even the cofounders have an open door policy and encourage people to reach out to them personally. Everyone here really embodies our core values. We are leveraging artificial intelligence to compliment the human touch.

Cons

Just like most things in the finance industry, things change throughout the year due to regulations or marketing. But the one thing that’s consistent is our core values. We have a mythology here of balancing the heart and the dollar sign, meaning using active, listening, and empathy will also provide value of what the company can do for a member. We still use wired headsets, Bluetooth headsets for everyone would be nice.

Supportive culture but lacks clear leadership and balance

Senior brand video lead

Business Outlook

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
