A Collaborative Environment

Fisher Investments believes our success is in our ability to work together. We provide mentorship to all new employees in order to guide them through the onboarding process. We also believe in an open, team-oriented environment—there are no offices or cubicles, employees are grouped into teams, and the management structure is relatively flat. Our team-based environment fosters mentorship and collaboration, providing you close access to your team leaders, allowing for frequent development conversations. All of this promotes an interactive, collaborative setting where people are motivated to work at their full potential and gain a wide variety of experience by learning from others.
