Wealthsimple has some really smart people that are super eager to help each other grow. In my time with the company, I've seen the company evolve from a scrappy startup to a maturing organization as it deals with its growing scale. I've personally grown tremendously in my time with Wealthsimple in a way that I wouldn't have been able to elsewhere. The leadership team is thoughtful and has put in place professional programs to help grow leaders and mentor/develop individuals. The people who work at Wealthsimple are super friendly, eager to get things done, and come from diverse backgrounds. The leadership team treats people with respect and transparency. Wealthsimple feels to me like my family.
There are good benefits, catered lunches, snacks, health supplements, team/company events, and supplies, making it generally a great place to work. Weekly company all-hands are open forums for people to ask any questions that they might have on their mind to the leadership team and also an excellent forum for airing concerns in a non-confrontational setting. This is definitely something other companies should consider mimicking! The company is also very metric-driven.
Company is trying to do too many things at once which is making it feel chaotic.

I applied online. There was an initial phone interview with a manager who went over my experiences and asked behavioral questions. I didn't make it beyond that, though they got back to me pretty fast. The interviewer seemed uninterested in interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took four weeks.The first contact was a cold email from a recruiter, followed by some back-and-forth emails to set up an intro call, then scheduling a technical interview, and finally a rejection email. More
