      Dead End Company with Dinosaur Management Mentality

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Culture was good the last half of 2017 but took a nose dive and tanked.

      Cons

      Company operates with old school work mentality expecting you to be in the office every day. The President is the biggest road block with his ego and micro managing everyone at all levels and feels he is the smartest guy in every room and every meeting. What talented people they had have left. Not a great company for someone looking to grow and learn to advance their careers. If you are looking for a 9-5 job and a pay cheque then this company suits you.

      Thank you for providing feedback. I’m sorry it didn’t work out and appreciate the opportunity to reflect on how we can be better. Our intent is to provide a happy and healthy office environment that sets everyone up for success. As a small company looking to do great things - to help people invest their savings - our recent growth has been the result of giving people more responsibility and fostering a culture of divide and conquer. I’m proud about the many talented and hard working team members who are succeeding at our company and am really excited about their continued professional growth and impact as we continue to scale the business. Thanks again for your time.

      This place is a joke run by egotistical clowns

      Pros

      Pros? The pro of MM is if you like being micromanaged and a sweatshop mentality you've come to the right place.

      Cons

      You could walk on water in the place and still be accused of not knowing how to swim. The pres and CEO have this needless ego and a complete inability to hear what people around them are saying. You'll be micromanaged, maligned, and 70-hour work weeks will earn comments from the CEO like, "I just don't feel like you're getting enough traction." I walked in so many days at 8am and left after sunset in the best months of the summer only to hear my team wasn't getting enough done. Maybe because they fired 3 of 5 teammates 2 months into my tenure here, without even mentioning to me that this was going to happen. All that junior work fell onto me; when I was supposed to be growing traction and building something of value I was covering 100 little tasks left in the wake of mass layoffs. The other members of my team were so burnt out they stopped caring. Remember the internet in 1998? When video was bad and just having a page meant you were a somebody? That's where these clowns are stuck.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. It pains me to hear this and apologize that you had an experience that is opposite from the positive, motivating, energized one we strive to create for all team members. Clearly we missed the mark in terms of what we’re committed to delivering and that all of our team members deserve. The doubling of our headcount in the past two years, based on the success we’re having and size of our ambitions, has required us to evolve many things to accommodate a larger team, focused on more projects. The importance of decentralizing decision making is critical for us to succeed at helping the millions of users who visit our brands every month to invest better, and we'll continue to focus on evolving how we execute to get better each day. Thank you again for the feedback. Tom Hendrickson Founder & CEO

      Team is great, management not so much

      Pros

      - The team is actually great to work with. Team members are easy to get along with. - The location of the office is convenient right at King and Yonge. The office is nice as well.

      Cons

      - Senior management is hard to work with due to a large ego. - Senior management doesn't trust their employees and micromanages decisions. - Priorities will change out of the blue often because of 'gut feelings' and 'excitement'. This creates a disruptive and stressful environment. It also doesn't give anyone a chance to focus on their work. - The company has great culture and values on paper but they do not live by most of them.

      Thank you for sharing your experience, and providing feedback. We value all feedback and are committed to providing the best culture and working environment for our team. At the outset, we are honest and transparent with all potential hires about who we are and what it takes to succeed. We are a small company with large ambitions that attracts entrepreneurial spirits passionate about innovation and motivated by making a direct impact in the lives of our target audience: self-directed investors and financial advisors - to date, of whom we’ve reached on an annual basis 5 million and 200 thousand respectively. If the path forward for us was obvious, it probably wouldn’t be the right growth path, so this creates an exciting culture of openness and dynamism. We hope to continue fostering a culture that allows all team members to be passionate about the work they are doing, and as mentioned in your post, it’s not for everyone.
