Our remote work infrastructure has provided many different channels through which our employees can share ideas and engage with one another to minimize silos and boost collaboration. Most importantly, the nature of our business and culture promotes and requires cross-functional teamwork, where teams across departments are accountable for working on multiple projects together.
Aspiration provides the opportunity for our team members to connect outside of their normal responsibilities – from sporting events to company town halls, we’re built on forming connections with the people we work with everyday.
For us, customers and sustainability come first. As an ESG fintech company that is rapidly growing, those that join our team do so because they know they’ll have the opportunity to contribute to reducing the global effects of climate change and revolutionizing the financial industry. It’s much easier to have a positive outlook for the years to come when you’re surrounded by people that inherently care about our planet and the fight against climate change and global warming.
Making diversity, equity and inclusion a responsibility of the entire Aspiration team. All members of the organization are held accountable for promoting and nurturing a positive and diverse work environment. Employee DEI involvement has increased by 400% after we transitioned from a top-down DEI approach to a bottom-up movement, empowering employees to take group action and individual initiative.
Utilizing a hands-on philosophy to performance management. Performance management at Aspiration happens on a bi-annual cycle and it’s grounded in goals and core values. We believe the role of each manager is critical in growing and retaining talent by providing an environment of open feedback and communication and ideas for building and implementing career paths.
We hold our core values proudly and make them an integral part of the experience of working at Aspiration. When we meet, we parse our progress based on how well we live our values in the way we behave with one another and contribute to the growth of our company, our customers, and our employees. We are united around a shared sense of purpose. The people we hire understand that they aren’t just signing up for a job – they’re joining a movement to fight against environmental and social injustice.

Our CEO is dedicated to meeting every new member of the team personally and informally via new-hires CEO forums, where employees have an opportunity to informally learn about Aspiration’s business and ethos, culture and core values. Most importantly, our CEO promotes and adheres to an open-line policy where anyone in the company, regardless of role or level, can access him directly– he welcomes interactions from any employee and uses those interactions as opportunities to learn and improve.
