Swell so far - Design Swell Investing Employee Review

The best culture and people I have ever worked with. If there were more companies that adopted Swells culture this world would be a better place. Each employee at the company has a voice to be heard with complete autonomy from top to bottom Strong communication and the collaborative environment that touches each and every team. The top-level management including the CEO has done a phenomenal job at making sure each employee has a voice. The workflow is a truly agile process with great discussions, dialogues, and communication amongst employees. The culture is so potent and influential that it subjectively changed my personal life as well.

A corporate venture by Pac Life. A real complex industry with many obstacles including a strong barrier to entry.

Beautiful aesthetic, great office, talented team, and the veneer of a healthy culture.

Swell Investing ultimately fails due its own hubris. An unrivaled arrogance runs riot through Swells broken culture, so don’t expect to change anything unless you are willing to play the game and get in with the clique. Favoritism trumps hard work and dedication, and its organizational structure works in such a way to keep you at the bottom - it’s semi flat so you’re either a team lead or heading to a dead end. Teams leads are also hungry to soak up any and all credit for your labors. Many of us harbor nothing but disappointment for a company we helped build only to watch it crumble due to its ineffective CEO, poor management choices, and a lack of work ethic. Don’t be fooled by Swell’s veneer, only frustration awaits.
