EMBRACING DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, AND BELONGING WITH FOOLS EVERYWHERE

You can find us helping to build connections across all stakeholders (including YOU!) to lead to a greater sense of community and belonging within The Motley Fool and beyond.

How does your team help make the world smarter, happier and richer?

Our Motley Experience Team focuses on increasing Fools’ dedication to DEIB (Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Belonging) across Fooldom! By building internal and external programs to help Fools recognize and understand how motley the world truly is, we can better imagine ways to best serve and provide financial guidance to our current and future Members.

How is TMF different from other places you’ve worked?

Paying homage to our company name, we like to bring jest to our day-to-day! We genuinely believe that Finance can be (and should be) fun!

What surprised you the most about working at the Fool when you were new?

When I was new, I was surprised by how quickly and selflessly so many Fools offered their time and help to ensure I was set up for success in my career. If I had a question, there were a dozen Fools ready with an answer and additional guidance. The support and encouragement I experienced nearly a decade ago are something that I continue to see today.

What’s the best thing about working at TMF?

I am impressed by each Fool’s commitment to bringing their A-game to each task and ask. You’ll frequently find Fools attending conferences, reading books, and upskilling to increase their knowledge and drive more value to the company and its stakeholders. And you’ll be encouraged to do the same!

STAYING HONEST AND TRANSPARENT

Our Legal Fools speak fluent legalese while walking a tight rope and wearing a jester cap. The Fool is a place where a lot of fun and a lot of work happens quickly. Our Legal team ensures that we maintain strict adherence to laws and regulations that may affect all of the work and fun we do. Noteworthy legal fiascoes that our Legal Fools have helped us avoid include [redacted], [redacted] — and of course I can’t forget that time that the Recruiting team almost [redacted].

The Motley Fool’s legal team provides advice on a wide ranging spectrum of topics including marketing, regulatory/statutory compliance (investment advisors act of 1940), privacy (GDPR, CCPA), information security, corporate transactions, and strategic executive advice to The Motley Fool’s management team and Board of Directors.

How is TMF different from other places you’ve worked?

Culture – and I don’t mean just happy hours or industry-leading benefits. The Motley Fool has created and sustained a culture where I believe my co-workers and my company truly care about my professional and personal well being. The company puts its money where its mouth is not only through its rhetoric but more importantly, through its actions.

What surprised you the most about working at the Fool when you were new?

The list of what surprised me (and what continues to surprise me) is long – but certainly how quickly my team welcomed me and how quickly I felt comfortable has to be at the top of the list.

What’s the best thing about working at TMF?

I will do my best and limit my answer here to two things. Firstly – The Motley Fool is as mission oriented a company as I have ever been a part of. To feel like you are a part of something bigger than yourself is incredibly motivating. Secondly – it is impossible to overstate the value of enjoying who you work with. There will always be challenges at The Motley Fool but accomplishments are made sweeter and mistakes are softened because in the end, I get to work with friends.

How does your team help make the world smarter, happier, and richer?

We ensure that every article is clear and well-rounded. We believe readers should know what’s behind the noise of company news to become better investors, ultimately achieving our mission.

How is TMF different from other places you’ve worked?

I believe I can say I’ve done it all. I’ve worked at various places: a public accounting firm, a state department, and a publicly-traded corporation. TMF was the one place where I’d experienced random gratitude chains that weren’t prompted by a holiday.

What surprised you the most about working at the Fool when you were new?

Most employees followed a non-traditional path to their roles at the Fool, myself included (I went from an accounting career to becoming an editor). My career here really can be what I make it, and that’s welcomed.

What’s the best thing about working at TMF?

TMF encourages employees to share their thoughts and opinions even when dissenting. It’s refreshing to know that no one here likes to fit the “mold” mindlessly.

What’s your team responsible for?

We are what most people might call Human Resources but we hold ourselves accountable for making Fools Smarter, Happier, and Richer throughout what we want to be a long and successful career. That could mean lots of things: career coaching, employee recognition, health and wellness, and professional development. We are highly data-driven to make sure we spend our budgets in the most effective, shareholder-friendly way possible.

How is TMF different from other places you’ve worked?

TMF is not afraid of trying new things – we have freedom and autonomy to test and learn and admit our mistakes and own them and enjoy them.

Tell us about a project you worked on that you’re particularly proud of.

Ask for a Raise Day in 2018 was definitely memorable. We wanted to encourage Fools at every level to overcome the discomfort and awkwardness of talking about compensation. I personally did over 100 1:1 coaching sessions with our employees and learned so much about common concerns and misunderstandings that it improved our rewards system for years to come afterwards.

What’s the most challenging thing about working at TMF?

We are a constant firehose of ideas and wanting to “top it.” Enthusiasm to innovate comes from all directions, at all times. Saying no to great ideas is hard. While it isn’t fun to be on the receiving end of “I love your enthusiasm, but….” knowing that a new project is probably right around the corner with a collaborative team makes that easier.

The multimedia team is responsible for all the media the Fool produces. From podcasts, to marketing content, to YouTube videos.

What do you do on the team?

I shoot, edit, and add motion graphics to videos as well as graphic design for web content.

How is TMF different from other places you’ve worked?

The Fool trusts its people in a way that’s unlike any place I’ve ever worked. From the vacation policy to the way we handle sick leave to everyday assignments and tasks, the Fool trusts you to do great work and gives you the resources to succeed all along the way. For me that trust has fostered some of the best work of my career and given me a sense of accomplishment that would’ve been impossible somewhere else.

What’s life like on your team?

It’s fast-paced and always interesting. Every day brings a new set of challenges and solutions.

What surprised you the most about working at the Fool when you were new here?

The Fool is the most motley place I’ve ever worked. The variety and quality of people in the building always astounds me. We’ve got former musicians, entrepreneurs, teachers, just about every background or interest you can think of. I’ve never been around so many fascinating people.

Tell us about a project you worked on that you’re particularly proud of.

We put together a video for a product based on international stocks. The video involved filming around the world and turned out better than I could’ve hoped for. It was a dynamic project that pushed my own creative limits.

We also produce our member’s favorite content like Breakfast News, Fool24 (our livestream), and of course our most important features: stock recommendations, real-money portfolios, and databases.

How is TMF different from other places you’ve worked?

It’s a fun place to work. At the last Foolapalooza, our annual company meet-up, there was a pony in attendance. There was also a fellow Fool dressed up in a bear costume. To work here, you can’t take yourself too seriously.

What surprised you the most about working at the Fool when you were new?

Everyone at the Fool is very down to earth and approachable. We really value each other and it is a very collaborative environment. We are always innovating, learning, and growing together.

What’s the best thing about working at TMF?

My favorite part is free stock recommendations, of course! The work we do every day doesn’t just make our members smarter, happier, and richer, but employees, as well. Since working here, I’ve been able to invest in the stock market along with our members by following Foolish recommendations and it has been a huge asset to my life.

What’s your team responsible for?

The Investing team at the Fool is responsible for providing best-in-class research into companies and stocks that can help our members generate market beating results over the long-term.

How does your team help make the world smarter, happier and richer?

Educating is at the core of what we do – we‘re constantly learning and expanding our and our member‘s circle of competence. We‘re empowering our customers to take control of their financial futures by learning about businesses, setting up a path to reach their goals, and hopefully having a bit of fun along the way!

How is TMF different from other places you’ve worked?

The Fool simply can‘t compare to other financial services businesses. Before I found myself at the Fool, I almost left the industry entirely simply because it was so difficult to find a place where I could do what I love (stock and business research) while also feeling like I was helping people in the process. In my opinion, the Fool is unique in that our mission truly finds itself weaved into my everyday work.

What’s life like on your team?

If you‘re someone who lives and breathes long-term investing, you‘ll wake up every day and have to pinch yourself that you‘re actually getting paid to do this! While no day is the same, generally speaking you‘ll find yourself pouring over 10ks, chatting with coworkers about the merits of different investments, and exploring new ideas. The best part is that you‘re never thinking about what may happen next week, next quarter or even next year: you‘re picking out ideas that can become massive opportunities for the long haul.

What’s the best thing about working at TMF?

If you work in equity research, there are a lot of benefits at the Fool that are truly refreshing: great work/life balance, high levels of autonomy, flexible leadership, and even unlimited vacation (yes, truly unlimited. I‘ve been able to take three international trips this year alone!). However, the best thing about working here is truly the trust. I‘ve never worked at an organization that starts from a position of trust in each and every person. We trust our employees, treat everyone with mutual respect, and empower our coworkers to make decisions and take the lead when needed. Doubt isn‘t in the Fool‘s vocabulary and we act with conviction in our employee base from day one.

Finance/Accounting

Our team is responsible for keeping track of all the dollars and cents within our organization. We’re made up of several smaller teams: FP&A, Treasury, General Ledger, Equity, Revenue, Tax, and Payroll; each with different responsibilities. From processing payroll to managing our budget, to closing the books and paying taxes, Finance and Accounting Fools have it covered!

How does your team help make the world smarter, happier, and richer?

The finance team handles payroll so every Fool gets paid accurately and on time, manages accounts payable to keep our vendor relationships strong, and delivers the financial reporting and budgeting insights that help leaders make smart, confident decisions. We also navigate equity and tax compliance so the company stays on solid ground. Beyond our own work, we partner with teams across TMF to keep them informed and financially empowered because when people understand the numbers, they can make better decisions. Ultimately, we help TMF focus on its mission of making the world smarter, happier, and richer by making sure the financial foundation is one less thing anyone has to worry about.

How is TMF different from other places you’ve worked?

The open door policy is a real thing here. At TMF, everyone from leadership on down is genuinely approachable and ready to roll up their sleeves and make things happen. That kind of accessibility and responsiveness is pretty rare, and makes a real difference in how fast and effectively we can get things done. It even makes it easy and fun to grab a coffee chat with a new Fool you haven’t met yet — people are always up for it, and it’s a great way to build connections across the company.

What surprised you the most about working at the Fool when you were new?

Honestly, the culture of trust caught me off guard in the best way. The expectations here are high, and TMF genuinely trusts you to meet them. There’s no micromanaging, no hand-holding. You’re given real responsibility and trusted to follow through.

What’s the best thing about working at TMF?

Without a doubt, it’s the team. We have a group of people who genuinely lean in, whatever changes come, whatever challenges pop up, this team figures it out together and gets things done. That kind of resilience and camaraderie isn’t something you can manufacture; we just have it. On tough days, knowing you’re surrounded by people who show up and give their best makes all the difference.

What’s the best thing about working at TMF?

The contracting experience at The Fool is uniquely Foolish. This environment feels different from other workplaces.
