Summary

In today's installment of Behind the Scenes, Jesse asks employees why they applied for a position at YNAB, what the interview process is like, and whether the company has lived up to its reputation as the best small business place to work at (no, really, that's what Fortune said, for the second year running!). YNAB gets a lot of applications, and the hiring process is fiercely competitive, but those who have made it share their thoughts and experiences.

Hello, WineAppers. My name is Jesse Mekim. This is podcast number 519 for WineApp, where

0:09.2

we teach you four rules to help you stop the paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt

0:12.4

and save more money. Today, I bring you another behind-the-scenes podcast where we chat

0:17.9

with some of the WineApp team members. Specifically, we're going to hit on what it is like to work

0:23.1

here at WineApp. This is particularly relevant because we found out just recently that

0:29.8

we were named the number one small workplace to work in the United States by Fortune Magazine,

0:36.0

and that is made particularly sweet because that is the second time in a row that we have

been named number one. So, I am an awe of that. At the same time, surprised and then not surprised.

0:50.5

When I think about each individual on our growing team, I just think, yeah, of course, this is a

0:56.8

great place to work. Of course, this is the number one place to work. But today,

1:00.5

you get to hear, yeah, the inside version. So, what do people here at WineApp think about working

1:07.2

here at WineApp? I hope you enjoy.

1:13.3

And I was actually a hardcore WineApp user myself, so I just happened to see the posting on the

1:20.2

1:27.6

it out, loved it, loved working with everybody. And so then as the other opportunities came up,

1:33.0

I was just like, yes, this is the place. Yeah, was it really fun like you thought it would be?

1:38.4

Oh my gosh, it was so much fun. I was such a geek about WineApp already. So, to get kind of the

1:46.8

behind the scenes insight into what actually went on and the fact that all the people and the

1:54.8

company itself were just as awesome as WineApp, the product was really exciting for me.

2:09.2

When you came onto WineApp, what made you feel like you should apply?

2:13.3

I feel like I should apply because I knew that I had experienced such a breakthrough with my own
