Promising rocketship in an industry ripe for disruption - Product Manager Altruist (CA) Employee Review

Leadership is thoughtful, transparent, and genuinely open to feedback. There’s a real sense that people care, and people enjoy spending time with each other. The work is meaningful and the talent density is high. Everyone is excited to modernize wealth management.

Fast growth can mean ambiguity at time. And the density of talent can be overwhelming if you don’t enjoy the work and want to participate in a highly motivated culture.

Decent pay and benefits for a startup

Completely misguided and lack of leadership. Most inexperienced colleagues rely on veterans that have been in the industry to resolve issues. Any escalations to management are generally turned down with no resolution in sight. Company is going nowhere fast and the company goals set are impossibly out of reach. They had 2 layoffs within a year and will likely be dissolved or acquired if they don't receive another round of VC funding. Check online and look at how many rounds of funding they have received. Advisors are losing faith and pretty soon, they won't have any customers to continue on as a business. Do not apply and consider going elsewhere. You are wasting your talents at this firm. The CEO is completely out of touch and pays writers to fluff up his image in blogs for online marketing.
