Pros

Free lunch is provided daily, and dinner is available if you stay late. For some, that will feel like a perk. For others, it can feel tied to a culture where long hours are expected and staying late becomes normalized.

Cons

The company has grown quickly, but the internal structure and employee experience have not kept pace. Some teams are built out and supported, while others feel extremely lean, reactive, and under resourced, which creates a very uneven experience depending on where you sit. The New York office is now expected to be in office four days a week, with Wednesday as the only day away from the office. For longer tenured employees who joined under a more flexible hybrid setup, that shift has been a major downside. It makes personal scheduling and travel more difficult and reflects a broader move away from flexibility without much consideration for the people already here. Benefits are not especially competitive, compensation is average, and many of the same growing pains continue without meaningful improvement. There are also broader issues around communication, consistency, professionalism, and the overall employee experience. At times, internal processes and support structures do not provide the level of clarity and consistency employees need. It is also worth keeping in mind that some reviews may reflect very early impressions rather than the perspective of employees who have been here longer.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review, I'm so sorry to hear your experience has not been great. The transition to more in office time was really intended to drive more collaboration - totally hear the feedback and respect that it may not be the right set up for everyone. Would love to dig into some of the other areas you mention so we can continue to improve the experience here. Please send me a note, I would love to chat. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review, Rasika

Pros

- Everyone on the team is exceptionally friendly, and wants everyone to succeed. It's a very professional environment. - Lots of transparency in our operations. - Exciting "upcoming startup" vibes. - Free lunch is a great perk. - They ring a little bell whenever we land a new client and the whole office cheers. Very exciting!

Cons

High velocity, very tech forward, and very excited about AI enablement. To me these are reasons why I chose Savvy in the first place, but if they rub you the wrong way, it's probably not a great fit.

Pros

- Exceptional autonomy. You're trusted with meaningful, high-impact work early rather than being confined to a narrow role. - Direct access to leadership. Decisions happen quickly, and it's possible to influence product, research, and company direction regardless of title. - Broad scope. It's an excellent environment for people who enjoy wearing multiple hats across product, investments, analytics, engineering, and operations. - Smart, ambitious teammates who genuinely want to build something differentiated. - Fast execution. Good ideas can become real products or processes in days rather than months. - Significant room for career growth if you're proactive and comfortable creating your own roadmap.

Cons

None of these are serious cons and instead are the byproduct of a startup: - Processes are still evolving, so priorities can shift frequently. - Documentation and institutional knowledge lag the pace of execution. - Success often depends on self-direction; there isn't always a predefined playbook. - Resource constraints mean individuals may own more work than they would at a larger firm. - Cross-functional coordination can occasionally become ad hoc as the company scales.
