If you’re considering working at Vise, read this. It will give you clarity on whether or not you’d enjoy working with us.
Startups, when done right, are magical: places where ambitious, hard-working people get together to build the impossible.
But now it feels like there’s more bloat than ever. There are oversized teams of people who see work as a place to clock in and out, people who prioritize career progression over building products and company politics over productivity. There are slow-moving teams and ineffective managers who don’t understand the customer and people who simply do not care.
We know because, in the past, we hired a lot of those people. We learned a lot. And we have identified what makes someone a good fit to work at Vise. If the below resonates, we’d love to hear from you.
You find meaning in your work. You would not put “work-life balance” as the most important thing you’re looking for in a job. You believe that your career progression and the progression of the company are one and the same, not competing incentives. You believe in getting 1 percent better every day. You believe in “burning the boats”—the idea that there is no contingency, and do whatever it takes mindset. You are obsessed, truly obsessed, with what is best for the customer. You have a deep desire for excellence. You don’t view startups as places to coast for a couple of years before jumping ship to the next big thing. You want to build something that lasts.
As for us, we’re building a platform for financial advisors that, if successful, will have a fundamentally positive impact on the personal finances of millions of people. We have made significant progress towards this goal. But, we have not won yet.
And the only way we win is with hungry, talented, ambitious people. Like you.
