So much potential, such disappointment

Pros

- Potential mission is very compelling. Legitimately important problem which has the potential to dramatically improve the financial industry. - Great work life balance; flexible hours and vacation (unless you are on one of the teams with defined coverage times like Support or Recon) - Some legitimately intelligent, passionate, and amazingly capable people

Cons

- Pay is median so we're not competitive in pulling the cream of the crop; company is filled with B-players - Much of middle management is incompetent and throws around processes and buzzwords while saying nothing of substance; many people who've decided they want to retire from Addepar or from industry and get paid to do nothing and go on vacation all the time - Instead of firing mediocre people we reward them if they stick around long enough with promotions and made-up job titles - Tech debt up to our ears, fragile QA, releases break things all the time and have embarrassing impact on clients - Outsourcing tedious brute force workflows to an SLC office instead of implementing tech solutions; throwing bodies at the problem is not innovative, it's what everyone else is finance is already doing

Pros

Benefits are comparable to tech leaders in the Bay Area. Flexible work hours and an unlimited PTO policy.

Cons

Organization moves extremely slow relative to its size. Deadlines are missed frequently across the board and process improvements could take years to implement. Teams are highly reluctant to take ownership of new projects and do not collaborate well cross-functionally. Lots of processes exist for the sake of process. Valuable time is spent attending meetings to cover insignificant details not critical to the business. Pay is mid to low market. No internal opportunities for acquisition and development of new skills. Employees are not empowered to own processes and are often discouraged from executing decisions affecting their own role without going through the appropriate bureaucratic measures. Organization is heavy on upper middle management and office politics is deeply ingrained into the culture. Constant observation and micromanagement regardless of your performance.

I'm sorry to hear this was your experience at Addepar. While you were here did you talk to your manager or anyone in leadership about your concerns?

Thanks for the review. It sounds like you are very unhappy with the product and our company direction. Have you spoken to your manager about this or Head of Product? I suggest you share your concerns with them and see what need to be brought to leadership's attention. Thanks.
