Pros
Savvy is solving a real and valuable problem for financial advisors who want to go independent. The product/market fit feels strong, and there is a clear sense that the company is gaining traction. The engineering culture is great, with thoughtful design, high standards, and a focus on doing things the right way. The people are smart, collaborative, and genuinely care about their work. The in-office culture is one of the best parts of the company, there is real camaraderie, and everyone eats lunch together every day we are in. It feels close-knit and energized.
Cons
The company is still figuring out its structure, especially around product leadership. All PMs report to the CTO, which can make priorities feel more execution-focused than strategic. Ritik, the CEO, is very growth driven, which is great for the company’s trajectory, but at times it can feel a bit transactional or demotivating when that focus overshadows individual recognition. Benefits are also on the weaker side compared to other startups, especially healthcare (I’m spending $$$$)
