Pros

The salary and perks are good. You get to travel to the US a few times in a year.

Cons

No salary is worth your peace of mind. The culture is chaotic, unsupportive and brutal. There is little opportunity for learning especially if you're in the international teams that don't ever get to work on interesting projects. The middle managers are out of touch and overall unnecessary. The completely remote culture does more harm than good and most people stick it out because of golden handcuffs.

Pros

- Very interesting technical challenges - A LOT of autonomy (could be a con) - Amazing perks (WFH stipend, random gifts all the time) - Very smart colleagues - Great communication all around the company - Exciting - Brilliant CEO and engineering execs - A lot of useful education and automation regarding processes

Cons

- There is a lot of autonomy so if you're the kind of person who needs the work to be handed to you, you'll have to adjust - Since crypto is a very fast paced field, you will often have multiple projects on the go at the same time so work-life balance is usually relatively bad, although the company does offer re-charge days (and weeks) so that we can all take time off. - This is the biggest con: you get assessed if you're "on-track" or "off-track" every quarter, if you're "off-track", you have 60 days to fix it. Quite an aggressive stance, similar to Amazon's PIP program which is notoriously toxic.
