Pros

Remote work. Nice office if you want to come. Ok base salary (but not the rest of the compensation package - minimal stock options, weak health insurance plan, no 401k matching).

Cons

Tech stack is outdated, which limits professional development. Their environment is becoming highly toxic as the company is becoming more and more desperate due to financial and investor pressure and competition eating away at its market share. Managers yell at their employees. CTO sends out emails to the entire company berating people he just fired. Unlimited time off is the biggest scam. You have to beg for every day you take off, and give them multiple weeks notice, but they lie to job candidates during the interview process, and make it seem like it's a wonderful place to work at. As they are becoming more desperate due to financial difficulties, they have started monitoring their employees very closely and pitting them against each other, tracking many metrics, like number of tickets resolved, PRs merged, commits made, screen time, and even keystroke activity! It's become unbearable. Joining Addepar at this stage offers little if any upside in equity growth because the big equity growth has already happened. Now the company's growth has plateaued, and since they only offer stock options, not outright stocks, your shares are worthless unless company valuation climbs, and they don't issue more stocks to dilute your share. Now the trend has reversed and they are losing market share to their more nimble competitors (CTO complained about that in a recent town hall), and this is leading them to become desperate and resort to unethical tactics, like firing employees right before their options vest, bias against employees with families, and blatant lies to prospective hires.

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?

Pros

Flexible work arrangement Some good and smart people

Cons

As others have pointed out, there's a noticeable culture of favoritism at the highest levels. From my experience in the Salt Lake City office on the client support side, if you're not among the select few who are favored, it’s very unlikely you'll receive promotions, recognition, or meaningful support. Senior management at the office plays a key role in this dynamic, showing clear preference for a small inner circle while often dismissing or demeaning others. What’s especially concerning - and widely noticed - is senior management's tendency to give more attention to younger women in a way that feels both unprofessional and inappropriate. It’s something that’s quietly acknowledged by many and contributes to an uncomfortable and unhealthy work atmosphere. Leaders at this level should be setting a standard of fairness and respect for everyone, as they represent the company in a major way. Additionally, there’s an excessive push around alcohol in the office—so much so that it's not uncommon to see bottles of hard liquor on people’s desks. This only adds to the uncomfortable environment.
