Pros

- Fully remote company lending itself to an incredibly versatile and flexible working experience. - A modern approach to problem solving using up to date tech and listening ears at all levels ready to hear from any employee, not just those with the longest tenure. The ability to make an impact rather quickly once you start I believe is incredible here. - Incredibly insightful leadership team with goals that propel the company's growth strategy in tandem with your own career aspirations. - Clear goals and expectations set to ensure everyone is on track and for individuals to know where they stand in that outlook - I have experienced an incredible culture on my team that leads to a ton of awesome collaboration and making unexpected friends even in a remote environment - An incredible emphasis on work/life balance. When you are on, you will work hard, but you will have the added feeling that once "Off the Clock", you are free to live your life outside of work as well!

Cons

- Team culture does not transfer over as well company wide. Not that there is a bad or toxic culture across SA, but that it is a bit more difficult to engage outside of your team. I come from a job that was onsite every single day, so this is just something I have had to work on being more comfortable with. - Lacking a bit in the celebration of our general users outside of Advisors. We constantly hear about the growth of our advisor's business and such, which is great, but the number one reason I joined SmartAsset was the potential to help those in need of financial advice to have this resource available.

Your perspective on being able to make an impact quickly and feel heard regardless of tenure is exactly the kind of culture we strive to build.

Pros

After spending years at high-growth startups, the biggest thing I appreciate about SmartAsset is stability. The company still has the pace and energy of a growing tech company, but leadership tends to be thoughtful and measured about decisions rather than chasing every shiny object. Remote work is real here — not the “remote but everyone actually lives in one city” type. People are spread across the country and it works well. There’s a lot of autonomy and trust to manage your own schedule and work style. Compensation is strong if you perform, and the company has been steadily growing the business rather than overextending itself. Some people might look at the benefits and think they’re not as flashy as big tech or some startups like to advertise. But personally I’d take a company that is growing profitably and building something sustainable over one that offers tons of perks but ends up doing layoffs when the market shifts.

Cons

Benefits overall are solid, but I would love to see the 401(k) match grow over time. For a company centered around helping people make smart financial decisions, that’s one area that feels a little light compared to other places I’ve worked.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful perspective on your experience at SmartAsset. We’re glad to hear that the balance between growth and stability has stood out to you. Building a company that can grow sustainably while still maintaining the energy and opportunity of a tech environment is something we care deeply about. We also appreciate the feedback around benefits and leadership engagement. As the company continues to grow, we’re always evaluating how our programs evolve and how we create more opportunities for leaders across the organization to contribute to strategic conversations.
