Pros

Systems and technologies are the most advanced that I’ve ever used.

Cons

Lack of structure - there’s no ownership in the organization. Company values and very different from what the leadership team preaches. Had an extremely bad experience with the payroll team for an organization of this size. Payroll overpaid salary, just dropped an email asking for the salary back without any breakdown, no phone call to inform. This is after I’ve left the organization for more than 1 month. Team needs to buck up with communicating and ensuring that these basic things are being met.

Pros

The people are amazing. Some of the smartest I've met and yet also the best to work with. I learned so much from working here.

Cons

High intensity of work (but you also get good rest). Work hard, play hard. Upper management has been making worrying decisions with AI (eg all in with too little of a plan or oversight).

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.
