Why MarketWise IS A MOST LOVED WORKPLACE®

Systemic Collaboration

EMPLOYEES COLLABORATE THROUGHOUT OUR COMPANY BY …

just being themselves. Our culture allows for ideas to be shared in an unfiltered and imperfect fashion and without red tape. You can bring an idea to just about anyone. We work together and collaborate freely, casually and on an impromptu basis and of course, we have tons of scheduled meet-ups too. The point is, we enjoy exchanging ideas at MarketWise.

Positive Vision of the Future

EMPLOYEES AT OUR COMPANY HAVE A POSITIVE VISION FOR THE FUTURE BECAUSE …

we tend to hire people who believe in what we do. Our employees recognize that our information and tools have real value and meaningful impact on people’s wealth and therefore, their lives. In addition, our commitment to hiring exceptional people and having a culture where ideas and solutions can come from anyone at any level means that we can adapt and thrive regardless of what the future has in store.

Company Respect

WE SHOW RESPECT AND ENSURE THAT ALL VOICES ARE HEARD AND IDEAS ARE VALUED THROUGHOUT THE COMPANY BY …

cultivating a culture of dialogue. We promote frequent and regular communication at all levels. We know context matters that’s why we listen and leave room for others to step in to voice their perspective. We believe that the best ideas trump the status in the room. We create opportunities for employees to share their feedback through surveys, suggestion digital inboxes, and through approachable leaders who prioritize “open door” policies. It goes without saying, communication IS the cornerstone of our group of businesses.

Company Support / Killer Outcomes

WE SUPPORT OUR EMPLOYEES IN ACHIEVING THEIR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL GOALS BY …

subscribing to a holistic approach. We empower employees to be career self-advocates by speaking up to share big ideas, raising a hand to take on new opportunities, and freely seeking to broaden their own skillsets across disciplines. The ripple effects of achieving personal goals are powerful that’s why we offer our employees flexibility to take time as needed, focus on fitness through our competitive fitness offerings, and prioritize financial well-being by leaning on financial benefit offerings. We are committed to making room for employees to flourish and grow.

Alignment of Values

OUR COMPANY’S VALUES ARE ALIGNED WITH OUR EMPLOYEES BECAUSE …

our business is built on three core principles that make sense and are easy to get behind. They are to deliver great investing ideas to the retail investor, to deliver these ideas written in a way that is easy to understand and execute, and to treat our subscribers the way we would want to be treated if the roles were reversed. This goes beyond how we serve our subscribers… and really gets to the core of how we operate with each other. Our company values align with our employee values because our company values are a reflection of our employee’s values.

CEO Strengths

OUR CEO SERVES AS A MODEL OF OUR COMPANY VALUES BY …

walking the walk. And lucky us… we have several CEOs within our family of companies. Our CEOs model a commitment to our values and to our subscribers by focusing on content and service excellence. Amber Mason, CEO of MarketWise, started as a proofreader in the company in 2006. She says “Even as the business got bigger, even as we launched new affiliates, even as we went public, the keys to success stayed the same: a deep commitment to readers… an understanding of the power of a big idea… and an “intrapreneurial” spirit. If you’ve got those three things, there’s no limit to your career here. My story is proof.”
