Scratch Financial
Scratch Financial Career Growth & Development
Frequently Asked Questions
We like to promote from within. New roles are posted internally and Scratchers are encouraged to apply. Regular promotion reviews and our annual performance and merit cycle give everyone a set time to talk about progress and next steps. Growth isn't only upward: we encourage lateral moves for people who want to build new skills. Without rigid hierarchy, Scratchers often take on ownership beyond their job title early on.
Scratchers can request reimbursement for industry certifications, courses, training, and conferences by submitting a request to their team leadership or HR. Learning can happen during work hours, not just after them. Internally, Lunch and Learns and cross-functional projects help people pick up skills from teammates in engineering, data science, compliance, sales, and more.
