Cons
I worked at Facet Wealth Management and felt the culture was exclusionary and dismissive of genuine efforts to build inclusion. When employees added pronouns to their email signatures to signal support for diverse identities, leadership told people to remove them and explicitly said this was not something the company supported. That response made it clear to me that inclusion was more of a talking point than a real value.
The three founders and most of the senior leadership come from very similar backgrounds, and in my experience they tended to reinforce each other’s views rather than listen to different perspectives. The leadership team felt like a tight in‑group, and decisions reflected that. Women are underrepresented at the top, and the few women in senior roles did not change the overall dynamic.
When employees raised concerns or suggestions about diversity, inclusion, and making the environment more welcoming, I saw those comments brushed aside rather than engaged with. Over time, that made me feel that feedback from people outside the core leadership circle didn’t really matter and that this was not a place where all employees could show up as themselves.
