Ethic, the tech-driven asset management platform that powers personalization for advisors, today announced it has been named as one of the Best Places to Work in Financial Technology by digital media company Arizent and independent research firm Best Companies Group. This year’s list was published by various Arizent media outlets, including American Banker and Financial Planning.
The annual Best Places to Work in Financial Technology survey and awards program is designed to identify and honor leading employers across a wide range of financial services functions including banking and mortgages, insurance, payments, and financial advisory. Ethic was recognized in part for its dynamic company culture and comprehensive benefits, which include robust medical, dental and vision coverage; unlimited paid vacation days; and ongoing opportunities for professional education. This is the second consecutive year that Ethic has made the list.
“We’re honored to once again be recognized as a leading place to work—especially as this reflects our team’s direct feedback,” said Ethic CEO Doug Scott. “From our founding, we’ve been intentional about building a diverse team that’s committed to helping address the defining issues of our time and having a lot of fun every day. Our culture seeks to inspire innovation while providing everyone with the opportunity to make a meaningful difference.”
Companies from across the United States participated in a two-part survey process to be considered for the Best Places to Work in Financial Technology ranking. The first stage evaluated each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The second step comprised an employee survey to measure the employee experience; the scores from both stages were subsequently combined to determine each nominee’s final ranking.
