Pros

tmf is still a great place to work, but only if you work at the alexandria hq. there you will find good pay and excellent fringe benefits. compensation however for the large minority of workers classed as outside contractors and freelancers took a big hit this year. if you want to get a job at tmf, make sure to get a "job-job" as an official employee. do not take a job as a contractor

Cons

the business model suffered a recent shakeup. the result is huge disruption internally, and a paycut for outside contractors. contractors are increasingly deemed secondclass citizens at tmf, suffering paycuts that do not affect workers at the alexandria hq. cut off from internal policymaking, their input is not sought, even as they bear the brunt of increasingly onerous rules from alexandria. more work and less pay is the order of the day

Pros

The initial folks I worked with were incredible. Some of the brightest and most talented coworkers. As such, they’ve all left…

Cons

CEO surrounded by “yes” people Zero clue how to run an RIA/Wealth management business. Zero. Chasing the next hot thing which right now is AI all while losing sight of the core competencies of the businesses and practices that made The Fool a great company to work for.

Pros

Up until a year ago this place was a great place to work. Amazing to be frank. We transitioned from old legacy systems to AWS and we were really making strides implementing newer forward looking technology.

Cons

The CTO bad mouths leadership and his colleagues non-stop. He believes his ideas are the only good ones and is often disconnected from what the teams are actually accomplishing. Take this for what its worth i would do my homework on the CTO and his prior work experiences and why he left. Needless to say i was let go a week ago along with many other members of his organization because he didnt think we had what it takes to get to the next level. He never even laid out what the next level was or is. A complete joke of an organization and the leadership team changes their minds non-stop.
