Robinhood | $102,850-$155,000
Steph's Notes:
“The talent that we hire today will build the products of tomorrow and will further drive us to fulfill our mission.” Vlad Tenev, Co-Founder and CEO
I love how they quote this like it's some visionary thing when really it's just a basic statement of fact.
At Robinhood, our culture thrives on in-person collaboration and a strong commitment to community. Most roles are office-based, with team members coming together at least three days a week to foster creativity and innovation.
This is not my jam, but I appreciate that they're upfront about being an office-based culture and aren't claiming that they're really hybrid to catch unsuspecting candidates.
Goofy "thought leadership" aside, Robinhood has an informative, thoughtful Careers page.
Lead 12-15 licensed Platinum Desk team members to produce outstanding results and improve their own skills
This is too many people for one person to lead effectively.
Leverage good business acumen and judgment to assist in negotiations and earning business
Nope! This is an inappropriate job requirement for a middle-manager role.
Zone 1 (Menlo Park, CA; New York, NY; Bellevue, WA; Washington, DC) $131,750—$155,000 USD
Zone 2 (Denver, CO; Westlake, TX; Chicago, IL) $115,600—$136,000 USD
Zone 3 (Lake Mary, FL) $102,850—$121,000 USD
I'm on the fence about whether I think this is appropriate compensation for a role that's required to obtain and maintain more than one financial license, but the health coverage offered (100% for employees, 90% for families) is very good.
Overall, there are positive culture signals for the company, but I'm concerned that this position will be stretched too thin to provide the leadership and mentorship Robinhood wants to see, and there's some scope creep I'd ask about as an interviewee.
