Pluspunten

The only good thing about smart asset was it was remote work.

Minpunten

The only positive aspect of working here is that it’s remote—everything else is a complete drain. If you’re considering joining, beware: this company will wreak havoc on your mental health. Leadership only cares about top performers, giving them all the leads while everyone else struggles and resorts to stealing deals. As an AE, this was the worst place I ever wasted my time on. The culture fosters competition in the worst way, with managers forcing you to split deals with senior AEs, taking half of your deal value. Morning huddles are mandatory and a total waste of time. Instead of productive discussions, the conversation often devolves into inappropriate topics that shouldn’t be tolerated in a workplace (sex, race, personal life). To make matters worse, the company backs up salespeople who haven’t hit quota in months. It’s no surprise that the sales organization hasn’t hit 100% for the past two years—that’s a huge red flag.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are committed to fostering a positive and fair work environment for all employees, and we take concerns like these seriously. We want every Account Executive to feel supported, which is why we have structured mentorship and development programs to help new hires ramp up successfully. While we do reward performance, we also ensure new AEs have access to training, guidance, and opportunities to succeed. If there are concerns about fairness in lead distribution or deal structure, we encourage employees to raise them with leadership or People Ops so we can address them. Additionally, professional workplace behavior is a core expectation at SmartAsset. Any inappropriate discussions or behaviors in meetings are not tolerated, and we urge employees to report any issues so they can be properly addressed. We appreciate your perspective and would welcome the opportunity to learn more about your experience.

Pluspunten

After spending years at high-growth startups, the biggest thing I appreciate about SmartAsset is stability. The company still has the pace and energy of a growing tech company, but leadership tends to be thoughtful and measured about decisions rather than chasing every shiny object. Remote work is real here — not the “remote but everyone actually lives in one city” type. People are spread across the country and it works well. There’s a lot of autonomy and trust to manage your own schedule and work style. Compensation is strong if you perform, and the company has been steadily growing the business rather than overextending itself. Some people might look at the benefits and think they’re not as flashy as big tech or some startups like to advertise. But personally I’d take a company that is growing profitably and building something sustainable over one that offers tons of perks but ends up doing layoffs when the market shifts.

Minpunten

Benefits overall are solid, but I would love to see the 401(k) match grow over time. For a company centered around helping people make smart financial decisions, that’s one area that feels a little light compared to other places I’ve worked.

Building a company that can grow sustainably while still maintaining the energy and opportunity of a tech environment is something we care deeply about. We also appreciate the feedback around benefits and leadership engagement. As the company continues to grow, we’re always evaluating how our programs evolve and how we create more opportunities for leaders across the organization to contribute to strategic conversations.
