Trust that you worked really hard but just couldn't hit the deadline but that's ok because our lives shouldn't only ever be work and we can hit it tomorrow instead. Trust to take the afternoon off to go to a dentist appointment. Unlimited vacation, $0 premium health insurance (or a generous HSA contribution), a yearly retreat that's literally only fun, and most of all, trust. The benefits are wild, thoughtfully picked and sometimes feel too good to be true (but they are). I'm now happily fulltime but YNAB values *all* of their employees, from the tenured folks to the the seasonal part timers. I started part time and over the past two years my roll has evolved based off my skills and interests. I feel grateful (because every job opening we have gets 500, 600, sometimes 700 candidates and somehow through all that, they picked me!?!) Jesse Mecham has created a gem of a place for me to build my career with wonderful potential for growth (both personally and financially). I love my boss, and her boss, and her boss too. YNAB employees need to be self-motivated, organized, effective communicators, thoughtful collaborators and they need to have a sense of humor about themselves, their work, and the world in general. In addition to the work culture I described above, this includes things like 401k, generous healthcare and vacation time, professional development like workshops/conferences and monthly book fund, and our annual work retreat. YNAB values their employees and they invest in us, both professionally and personally. Colleagues and the work environment are helpful, encouraging and they facilitate your growth, personally and professionally.Įven when a project doesn't go the way the team intended, it's seen as an opportunity to learn, refine, and do better, rather than a failure that deserves punishment. We hear from folks every day that YNAB has changed their lives for the better, and that is a powerful motivator.Ģ. Whether you're a developer working on the back end, an educator creating and conducting classes on the YNAB Method, or a support specialist talking directly to a customer, we're all working towards the same thing - helping YNABers align their values with their money. You are helping real people with a real need. When you don’t, I think it leaves a bad taste in the mouths of great candidates.I've been with YNAB almost three years now and it has been a truly unique and exceptional workplace and here's why:ġ. I believe that when candidates get that far into the process, you should give them something to takeaway, positive or constructive, since you obviously liked them enough to keep moving them forward. After interviewing with them for nearly two months and putting so much time and work into the process for a role & company that I was really excited about, not receiving feedback will deter me from looking at open positions here again. After sending in my resume, cover letter & questionnaire, filling out an additional 15 questions, doing 2 interviews, and completing a project, it was incredibly disheartening to be told, not only was I not selected, but that they couldn’t provide ANY feedback. They are very open and honest about the timeline from the beginning, so I knew it could possibly take 6+ weeks and I respected that they wanted to ensure they were bringing the right person into their company. Interview The interview process is long, as every other reviewer has stated.
