Pros

- there’s no doubt everyone is aligned on the mission - the drive of the employees towards a social mission - opportunity to work cross-functionally - as it’s a startup there’s a decent amount of free reign - smart coworkers coming from top-tier orgs - compensation is somewhat competitive for non-tech roles - cost of healthcare

Cons

- there is a lack of connection and understanding between who works at Stash and who Stash seeks to serve - leadership is inconsistent and lacking in transparent communication - roles are unclear and varying - the way layoffs were done was not people-first and dehumanizing; laptops got shut off within minutes not allowing any word to get out from those affected - To then purport how you’re on a list for best employers for diversity within the same time period is heinous and embarrassing at best. - there was a lot of unnecessary gossip about the state of the company that was never clear leading up (watching people get let go after leadership was reassuring folks or telling us to start working harder) - tasks seemingly either never get done, forgotten, or rushed for no apparent reason

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience working at Stash. We value your feedback. We have always been clear about who we serve. It all comes back to our mission, which is to help everyday Americans invest and build wealth. In a moment millions still face barriers to financial knowledge, tools and services, our product has never been more relevant or necessary. Our mission and our product would not be possible without our people, the talented team members whose talent, passion, and commitment help us deliver for our customers each day.
