Vlad TenevCo-Founder and CEO
How we build
We are a collaborative, intensely driven team operating at the highest level of performance. This isn’t a place for the complacent. It’s where ambition makes ideas a reality and careers accelerate at full speed. Here's what you'll find if you join us:
Ethics and compliance are at the center of what we do.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethics and regulatory compliance, as we know customer trust is hard earned and easily lost. See our Code of Conduct here.
We operate with an extreme sense of urgency.
The world's not slowing down, and neither are we. Working here is intense, urgent, and fast-moving by design. We run toward hard problems and push through all-out sprints for purposeful work that makes real-world impact in weeks, not years.
We believe in doing more with less.
Our hiring and promotions aren't about who's led the biggest team, but who's led lean teams to big results. We care about execution, not title. Prioritizing delivery over hierarchy helps us operate more like a start-up, even at our scale.
Bureaucracy won't slow you down.
We're builders. We eliminate barriers to direct feedback and are allergic to unnecessary processes. It may sound simple, but time is too valuable to waste - for our teams and especially for our customers.
Expectations are high; excellence is rewarded.
Our talent programs are designed to recognize and motivate high performance. The exceptionally talented people who thrive here are chasing impact, not status. They're here to build, deliver and consistently raise the bar.

What We Value at Robinhood
Insane Customer Focus
Insane Customer Focus
Our customers are why we exist. We listen to them, design for their needs, and aim to make our user experience elegant and intuitive.
We put what's best for customers at the center of decision-making, bringing them the best in technology coupled with real value. When there are customer pain points, we fix them quickly.
High Performance
High Performance
We operate with extreme urgency. We push for progress without compromising quality-and when something is broken, we fix it. We're driven by impact and pride ourselves in our ability to be nimble and quickly adjust our strategy when presented with new information. Friction and obstacles don't deter us from pursuing what's truly important.
Safety Always
Safety Always
Trust is hard earned and easily lost. We take responsibility for our customers' finances seriously. We are compliant, approach risks thoughtfully, and never compromise trust for speed.
One Robinhood
One Robinhood
We're all invested in the same mission. We earn each other's trust through honesty, inclusion, and respect - because finger-pointing never does the trick. We invite contrary perspectives, support each other, and debate with energy and kindness. Once decisions are made, we move in unison with ownership and accountability, powered by the thrill of building something great together.
Participation is Power
Participation is Power
We level the playing field. We started a movement, breaking barriers so everyone—not just the wealthy—can access the financial system. The elites always find a way to get nicer things, which means our job to "democratize finance for all" may never be complete — which is what makes it so fun.
First-Principles Thinking
First-Principles Thinking
When we want to lead, we lead. We're innovators and problem solvers. Rather than iterating on the past, we start from first principles, questioning assumptions and finding creative solutions from square one. We use data, empirical truth, and experiments to inform decisions. Our bold bets often make us a first mover, and we do what's right for customers - even if it hasn't been done before.
Lean and Disciplined
Lean and Disciplined
We do more with less. Constraint drives us to innovate through scalable technology-not excess resources. We set ambitious goals, benchmark performance, and weigh trade offs before changing course. We respect each other's time by reducing toil and bureaucracy. And by keeping costs low and efficiency high, we deliver exceptional value customers can't find anywhere else.
