Thank You - Employee Swell Investing Employee Review

Mission: Only place I've felt like I'm not only here for making a few people rich by working on some silly web or mobile application. Swell's mission to make this world a better place was what drew me in and has kept me here and will keep me here. Amazing work-life balance: Management encourages and facilitates employees in keeping the all important work-life balance Immense flexibility: This is the only job I've ever worked at where I have been given this level of flexibility in my work life. As long as I get the work done on time, no one cares how I do it or where from. I've had to work remotely for large parts because of my personal situation and no one has ever batted an eye. Growth: In my time here, I've had the chance to work with some of the smartest and caring people I've ever met, it has helped me grow both professionally and in my personal life. As this company has grown, I've had the opportunity to grow with it and take on a more senior role. Rewards: You also get rewarded for your hard work here. I have been given more responsibility and a leadership role as the company has grown. Also, it's not all just take and no give. I have been given multiple pay raises in the two years as a reward for that hard work. Office space: Swell's office space is truly amazing. I've met with multiple people from different organizations at Swell's office and everyone has wished they worked here for the office alone.

Commute is a bit of a pain if you don't live in the Santa Monica / Culver City area.

I have been working at Swell Investing full-time for more than a year Pros I’ve been with Swell since launch. I originally started as a contractor but went full-time soon after. I love the company’s mission, and I feel like they are making a difference in an industry that needs it the most. It’s a great place to work, but like any early stage startup it has its pros and cons. • team- a great group of people to work with, everyone is super smart and brings a diverse set of skills to the table • a good place to learn new skills • a good place to learn more about the financial world and making good decisions for your own future • methodology for building product - pair programming, user testing and an agile approach to building product • Location, location, location - the office is a few blocks from the beach and has an amazing outdoor patio • HR actually cares - in-house HR takes time to truly listen to employees and make changes • transparency with employees around business decisions • flexible work hours • good benefits

• priorities sometimes shift quickly • parent company slows down progress
