Arrived with hope, left only with disappointment.
Pros
Beautiful aesthetic, great office, talented team, and the veneer of a healthy culture.
Cons
Swell Investing ultimately fails due its own hubris. An unrivaled arrogance runs riot through Swells broken culture, so don’t expect to change anything unless you are willing to play the game and get in with the clique. Favoritism trumps hard work and dedication, and its organizational structure works in such a way to keep you at the bottom - it’s semi flat so you’re either a team lead or heading to a dead end. Teams leads are also hungry to soak up any and all credit for your labors. Many of us harbor nothing but disappointment for a company we helped build only to watch it crumble due to its ineffective CEO, poor management choices, and a lack of work ethic. Don’t be fooled by Swell’s veneer, only frustration awaits.
