Do. Not. Work. Here.
|
|
A few people at betterment at work are really great - in the face of incredible adversity and a total lack of support or recognition - they shine.
|
Where do I begin?
Criminally understaffed.
A complete failure to communicate much of anything between functions - especially challenges (like staffing) to other functional areas - leading to an us vs them culture across the entire business, which almost feels purposeful.
Leadership plays the blame game while refusing to take accountability for a complete lack of organization or direction.
A culture that allows leadership to bully (and actually push blatant lies) about rank and file staff without repercussion.
Recycling the same old tired ideas that have been tried before that only lead to more unscalable process - at the expense of the customers and the very burned out staff.
The “old guard” refuses to listen to any of the ideas or modern processes that new people were hired to bring to the table. You will be publicly shot down and then reprimanded for doing the job you were hired to do.
A total absence of tooling to track any kind of meaningful or accurate data - and then accusing middle management of not “using data.”

This would be pointless because as long as the people presently leading Betterment At Work are in place - this cycle will continue and they’ll forever be wondering why their customer feedback is 🚮

I’m loving it here…
|
|
This is a cool and nice company. They give you a MacBook Air and let you pick other équipements up to $600! I’m impressed. I’m loving it here.
|
I wish the pay could have been better but I won’t complain since the pros outweighs the cons. That’s h the e only thing I can think of right now… Time will tell!

Not a fan
|
|
They provided free lunch and the office was nice.
|
Unrealistic expectations to complete processing tasks. Some people in management scape goats associates instead of solving department problems.

Challenges in Adapting to RTO and Compensation Concerns at Betterment
|
|
* Collegial Work Environment: A friendly and cooperative team atmosphere.
|
* Rigid RTO and Geo Tier Policies: The recent implementation of RTO policies and geographic tiering systems may demotivate remote workers.
* Lack of Salary Growth: Despite promises from leadership, a lack of salary increase over three years, even with increased responsibilities and exceptional performance.
* Increased Workload without Corresponding Rewards: Taking on more responsibilities without adequate recognition or financial compensation.
* Financial Restrictiveness: The company's approach to cost-cutting and financial constraints appears to be impacting employee incentives and overall morale with leadership not even acknowledging the issue.

|
* Reassess Compensation Strategies: Consider reviewing and adjusting the salary structure to reflect the increased responsibilities and dedication of the employees. Geo tiers make no sense
* Employee Recognition and Incentivization: Develop more robust systems for recognizing and rewarding employees who go the extra mile. Betterment awards are not a good way to do that.
