Pros

I truly believe most of the nice reviews listed on this page are new hires that are being pushed by their recruiters to complete good reviews in the first 90 days. Don't believe a word that is said. The Denver office building is in a prime downtown location. Lunch is ordered every Thursday for the office. Snacks and drinks are aplenty. Great Gym onsite. 3 weeks vacation, 48 hours of sick time and 2 personal days kept me out of a depression. HR plans great employee and volunteer events throughout the year which helps make it more enjoyable. However, the cons far outweigh the pros!

Cons

Ever since the last managing director of the Denver office left in March 2024 the office culture has been a dumpster fire. Nepotism everywhere you look! The leaders hire people they know and favor them once hired. Good luck getting a decent raise or a promotion. The head of Product who is now in "charge" of the office would rather micromanage employees and all other departments above doing his own job. Oh by the way the head of Product is related to the CEO and can get away with discrimination and unequal treatment practices. Have I mentioned RUN! The leadership in this company operates in ways that are often unethical, with practices that raise serious concerns. There are numerous inconsistencies in the company's business operations, and it's only a matter of time before an audit could potentially lead to its downfall. This company consistently undervalues its smart and skilled employees, with leadership offering low salaries and minimal raises year after year. There is a noticeable pay gap, with men earning more than women, and the company lacks diversity, especially in leadership positions, where women are significantly underrepresented. Benefits are a complete joke. The competitor down the street offers paid maternity leave and offers more paid holidays. However, if you're looking for Good Friday off, Ria is the company for you, but if you want more diverse holidays like MLK or Juneteenth off, forget about it. Don't even get me started on the office space issue. They expect to cram something like 60+ employees into the office with only like 30 desks. Most busy days they have people sitting on the floor because there was no more desks available. But employees have to be in 3 days a week for collaboration. How is this acceptable? Oh and by the way the office capacity sign states 54. Have I mentioned that this company doesn't care about your well being. Run! Run! Run!

Pros

Some people are great to work with

Cons

Compensation is significantly below market for product roles in fintech. You are expected to operate at a high strategic level while being paid closer to mid-tier startup salaries. Equity is used as a selling point, but stock performance has been consistently weak, making that upside questionable. Frequent restructuring makes long-term roadmap planning almost impossible. Entire teams can disappear after a quarter of strong performance if cost targets are not met. Senior talent is often removed under “cost alignment” language and replaced with lower-cost labor in other regions. Promotion criteria are vague. Results alone are not sufficient. Executive proximity and political alignment carry disproportionate weight.
