Pros: - Remote - Good WLB - Engineering talent and code is great - Managers are generally good

Cons: - High churn with Product Management and Design. - There appears to be a lot of top-level decisions from the CEO, and engineers are forced to implement/pivot to work on those projects. - Layoffs have spread resourcing thin. Some teams have not enough engineers.

Pros: At Acorns, I worked on a team where everyone's opinion mattered, and management would take input from everyone when brainstorming new ideas/features. They also stressed the importance of work-life balance and would generally allow you to take some time off if needed.

Cons: Nothing much to say here other than I was affected by layoffs.

Pros: I think I have a unique experience of working at Acorns since I was hired just before the worst of the pandemic kicked in. But unlike a lot of other companies I saw, Acorns didn’t back down from the challenges that 2020 presented. The management team and every member of staff was invested in the company’s growth and continued success. It was incredible and I think, also, very indicative of the kind of company I’m working for. One that gauges success on more than just dollars and cents.

Cons: This is NOT the place for slackers. You need a strong work ethic and team mentality to succeed at this company. If you don’t have either of those, I recommend not even bothering applying.
