Envestnet

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing was good. They hid the fact that hundreds of employees - many who had been there more than 5 years - were laid off a week before Diwali. The others were converted to contractors. About 1,000 affected. Ick on timing, ick on hiding the truth. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Once they fired the VP, my boss' responsibilities changed, and he became almost completely unavailable. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very east-coast style in terms of formality, employees as replaceable parts, need to report time spent in hourly units by category. Good employees struggling to cope 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Chaotic. Priority setting was non-existant, probably because of the hidden timeline to cut the division.

All you need to do is ask a current employee, or view their Glassdoor reviews, to see why Tamarac is a sure-fire stay away.

Immature management
No real career tracks for non software developers- all lumped into "associate" and "service" rep tracks
Claims it is a SaaS company, yet does not even have tools or methods in place like SSO.

Terrible work culture - bunch of depraved "I enjoy complaining about how bad this job is but don't do anything to get out of it" pop culture.

Tamarac was acquired by Envestnet in 2015. I assume this is when the company started going south, as my manager (who was there for 8 years and left just after I started) and others who were around prior to then say it was an awesome company.

The proof is in the pudding - steer clear.

Horrible manager with no management skills, micro-managing, very controlling and pushy, very hostile environment, incompetence in her work. 75% of the time you spent on doing stuff that are inefficient and unproductive (redo the same task multiple of times very bizzard) which take up your time and so you ended up falling behind on your other tasks, you  then require to work into the evening and weekend to keep pace with your tasks. Even when you tried to do everything, you still got criticism from it. If you are salary employees, you probably better off flipping burger for the same pay without any stress and/or having someone's constantly breathing down you neck.

Envestnet is a publicly traded company that is running out of organic growth opportunities being that they are the market leader in most spaces they're involved in. This results in management pushing into unnatural markets where there is no competitive advantage and a lack of skill/experience to ensure success in those markets. There's a major acquisition nearly every year that causes major shifts in strategy and often results in the projects you've been working on to be obsolete. I experienced frequent turnover in management which resulted in inconsistent strategy and prioritization.

Envestnet is a technology firm. Company is innovative, but extremely disorganized and disjointed.
Various units located in different time zones - it creates inability to productively communicate. 60% of employees, predominantly developers and Operations are located in India.

If your an over achiever dont be, company has structured pay regardless how well you perform. I did so well I was promoted once sometimes twice a year. I was that good. I was promised pay increases during these promotions into management and still nothing even after a year.

Overall, its great company for new comers with zero experience that need a job. Would i say its a career option, sure for the people who dont mind waiting 10 years, are good at budgeting their money, dont mind living outside of the city.

I spent the day solving customer problems, creating Billing Reports and Invoices, ensuring that the day to day ran well..
The Management team did not micro-manage but were always available when needed..co-workers were great fun and always helpful..
I actually did not find anything hard about my job and enjoyed going to work every day...
The firm is very strong with work/life situations and when needed they would let you sign on from home a coupe of days a week.

Like many others, Envestnet purchased our company. Our company is run well and my department has little to no interaction with Envestnet and I am pleased with my current role. 

It seems like the parent company Envestnet is not well run and that sometimes frustrates me. Last year we received abysmal raises (2%) while incurring record high inflation. Envestnet executives  do not seem trustworthy and I don't think they even have a coherent strategy on how to operate the company even though they constantly try to make us believe they do.

- Typical day: Fast paced, answering investment managers and internal clients' inquiries regarding model management and trading related issues.
- Learned: how to research and reach out to various resources, both internally and externally, to resolve issues.
- Management: is a valuable resource.
- Workplace culture: Professional, reserved and fun too.
- Hardest part of job: Reactive position, instead of proactive.
- Most enjoyable: Resolving difficult issues in a timely manner.
