Software Engineer • Current Employee
Pros: 1) I've never seen a company that is so transparent as to everything that is going on inside and outside in my life. This shows trust that the management and the board of directors are putting in the hands of employees as well as the overall desire to keep everyone on the same page.
2) Incredible culture: people are smart and open to help everyone, and everyone is striving to help others to the best of their ability. Team coffees that pair you with another random co-worker help to learn about other people more.
3) Great compensation package - it makes you appreciate the job place even more.
4) The shortfalls are not used as an opportunity to find a guilty person, but rather as a learning opportunity to prevent it from happening again.
5) Wealthsimple promotes learning: there is a credit available for professional development, and management promotes lateral movements within an organization if the employee wants to learn a different aspect of the business.
Cons: The organization is growing a lot, so there are operational issues and miscommunications here and there, but nothing major.
In my opinion, it's just a part of a really fast growing organization and the company is actively seeking for ways to improve it.
