I’m in the marketing department and want to update this thread based on the 11 month old feedback above. Morale had taken a hit but the company is doing well, having weathered a storm that hit all of tech, there’s a new CMO who has vision, and we’ve had a solid marketing budget restored. It’s still be best company I’ve ever worked at, and I’ve been doing this a long time.

Wealthsimple longevity’s is in question. They’ve drastically cut marketing budgets and resources, they’ve also done org wide restructuring due to the layoffs the did on June 15. Company strategy seems to be in flux. Culture has taken a hit and morale is extremely low since the layoffs. There is also rumours of them removing some perks and benefits to further cost cut.

Wealthsimple is the best company I have worked at. Having worked at 4 other companies including MNCs.

I’ve been a creative strategist, account manager (both agency) and an ad sales operations manager (television/digital media) and I’m tired of bouncing around. I’m trying to narrow down paths that I can take now, but am at a loss. There are so many ways I could go. Because of my last two roles I have a great interest in creative operations type positions, but I’m not quite sure how actually land the job. Any thoughts?

We only have one significant competitor in our industry, and it’s likely my best option. Love my company, been with them for years, but I’m really struggling with how frustrating this situation is.

I don’t want to leave or start on a bad note so wondering if it’s even worth bringing up. Thanks!
