Pros

TL;DR: - Fully remote, never returning to office - Ownership opportunities - A diverse and knowledgable cohort of associates - Dedication to quality over quantity I joined SmartAsset 3 years ago, moving as a supervisor of Software Developers from a large corporate in-person job. I was drawn to SmartAsset by its full remote culture and its situation in the marketplace. Before the interview process, I had no idea the high bar that they set within their technology department. Meeting with the engineers, the director, and the VP showed me how much I'd be able to learn by joining SmartAsset. Over the past 3 years, that has continued to be the case. Add in the ownership possibilities via options and RSUs and you get a rare place to work and grow.

Cons

TL;DR: - Lean and therefore requires wearing multiple hats - Growing always comes with growth pain - Limited "standard" benefits SmartAsset is still very much a start-up that is growing to its fullest. That means the team sizes can be limited. Everyone sometimes find themselves filling the responsibilities of co-workers when the need arises. This is two of the values of SmartAsset, to "We Trust Each Other: We have trust in what we do and in one another" and "We Collaborate: We value people's talent, ideas, and voices." With that start-up in mind, some of the standard benefits like 401k match might not be as strong as larger companies. Compensation might also be weaker compared to companies in your area, but those companies probably don't operate out of your living room / office so I'd consider it a wash.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review — and for the past three years you’ve invested in SmartAsset. We’re so glad to hear your experience reflects the collaboration, learning, and ownership we strive to build across every team. You captured it perfectly — our fully remote culture, high technical bar, and commitment to quality are what make SmartAsset special, but they also come with the realities of being a lean, growing company. We appreciate your perspective on where we can continue to evolve as we scale, particularly around benefits and resources, and that feedback is something we actively review each year. We’re grateful to have team members like you who help shape what SmartAsset is today and what it will become next.
