      A sad outlook

      Backend engineer

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The start of my time here was incredible. I really felt part of a team on a mission to democratise building wealth. The first year everything seemed absolutely fine and management was blowing money like there was no tomorrow.

      Cons

      Everyone has already shared their insights about this. After each round of layoffs I thought, how could they screw this up even more than last time? It's really sad to be honest. It didn't have to be this way.

      Will be surprised if Stash can turn itself around

      Pros

      -Some very talented, hard working people -Decent autonomy -Goal of helping the 99% invest and build wealth is feel good -Remote

      Cons

      -Benefits are OK, no 401k match -No actual North Star, things seem to change on a whim with little direction -Very slow to build and launch new products -Feels very political, feels like it’s about being noticed and following leadership’s misguided direction instead of doing work that would better the product for customers -Pushes the idea of being innovative and for a younger generation but ultimately feels the company is dated and not willing to take innovative risks -Previous CEO would often lecture employees on Zoom about how we needed to work harder as if we were the problem

      Thank you for taking time to share your experience working at Stash. We value your feedback. Our mission has always been our North Star. We are incredibly proud of our talented team, including, but not limited to, the Stashers whose work is most closely tied with ensuring our product experience makes it as easy as possible for customers to get started on their journey towards sustainable, long-term economic security. Earlier this year, we welcomed new CEO Liza Landsman, a world-class leader across consumer finance, e-commerce, and venture and under her guidance and the direction of both new and existing Stash leaders we’ve been implementing organizational changes that will help us build and scale more quickly, and serve the millions of people who need our product now more than ever.

      Seeing some positives

      Engineering
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Engineering and Product Direction - Look, it's been a very hard year. There is no point denying that (the reviews are/were accurate). But things are slowly changing. New technical leadership is clearing house and building momentum against a new technical vision and approach. They've removed many options, doubled down on quality, and empowered teams to take ownership of their domains. There was lots of good noise from the recent on-site about owning the technical future. Remote/WFH policies - taking a mature approach to hybrid work, putting the decision in the hands of individuals and teams. Offices are there if you want/need to use them, but there's no pressure. Mission-driven people - Probably the biggest asset at the company. People want to do the right thing for the customers and understand why we do what we do.

      Cons

      Problem space - It's unclear whether the company's business model has a place in the current environment. The problem space has evolved since the company's formation, and it's no longer that investing tools are unavailable to most people, but instead that people don't have the money or confidence to invest. As a subscription service, this is problematic when "free" alternatives exist. Panic mode - The leadership team doesn't exude calmness for the company. Decisions flip-flop without leadership being clear about what's causing the change in direction. Chasing fads - The lack of clarity on the product vision causes the team to chase fads. The biggest historical example is Crypto, delivered so late that it missed the hype cycle. Similar fads are being pursued right now. Lack of Stash history in Leadership - Whilst the new thinking is helping the team move forward, the lack of history in engineering and product leadership causes the team to spend time "rediscovering fire" or criticising decisions from people who have left.
