Pros
  1. Amazing culture! You need amazing people to create an amazing culture, and at Wealthsimple, everyone you work with is smart, experienced, hardworking and nice. Whenever you need help with anything, people will always be available and genuinely happy to help you out. As a junior employee, that just makes you feel that you are a part of a tight-knit family who cares about you and will always be there to support and help you grow and succeed. 2. Exciting and meaningful work! As Wealthsimple strives to bring smart financial services easy and accessible to everyone, there are always new cross-team initiatives and projects that you know will help people better prepare for their future, and any work you do will have an immediate impact to clients and the business. 3. Company is very young and is growing at a tremendous pace in a relatively untapped market, which means there is a lot of opportunity to grow and contribute, and learn how to scale a startup to a world-class, global company. 4. (Back to culture) Wealthsimple trusts and values employees a lot and is extremely transparent about what's going on across the company. Every week, the management team will share the good news, bad news and learnings and is always open to questions and feedback to make the company better. In addition, people believe and live by company values that have developed over time, and will publicly give others kudos for the great work they've done and for demonstrating company values at work. 5. There are great benefits and compensation. 6. I really like how diverse the people at Wealthsimple are, and I am excited to see more diversity at Wealthsimple.
Cons

Nothing I can think of.

Advice to Management
  1. Keep up the great work and make sure the amazing culture doesn't change as the company scales globally.

  2. I would like to see more programs to help junior employees grow faster.
