StraightIn Reviews

I started at StraightIn in 2022 as a graduate. The transferable skills I have acquired since have been invaluable, allowing me to move into a role I have always wanted at a large financial firm. With that being said, StraightIn is by no means a stepping stone; it's a strong foundational layer for anyone looking to enter the corporate world. The opportunities for growth are based on merit, for example, I was promoted twice within the space of one year - seeing a 33% pay increase in this time too. This company has helped me grow both as a professional and as a person. Before working here, working alongside other people was a foreign concept to me. My teamwork ethic was next to none; and I was lucky to have landed a job that allowed me to teach me the importance of being able to work well within a team. Every single member of SMT (but especially Jessica) is a pleasure to work with, are always ready to listen to ideas, and give credit where credit is due. While it might take some time for ideas to be implemented [like in any growing company], they do pull through and you can see that they really are listening to the employees. The work environment is unrivalled; management is always eager to help, and the office is more or less one big family [Without the usual toxicity, which is rare!] They are attentive to the fact that everyone works at a different pace, and the CEO is someone who doesn't give up on people so easily.

StraightIn is a relatively small but high growth company. The benefits of a small company come with this; you get to know pretty much everyone, including those at the top. Processes and internal affairs are pretty transparent, and the company culture is fun. There's a lot of camaraderie here and it helps to have a good sense of humor. Another benefit from the size and culture: good work and a strong work ethic are recognized by everyone. I've seen plenty of promotions, pay raises, and have been rewarded with them myself. Incentive trips are also a regular occurrence. Seniority matters less than a strong work ethic. It's also a really great company to join for young people or fresh graduates looking to start their careers. In short order, anyone working on the delivery side will have experience in almost any industry you can think of with the clients we work with, so it's a great sampling of the business world.
