Pros

Many super kind, brilliant people Good compensation for a startup

Cons

The kind, brilliant people are tormented by terrible leadership. Leadership has no idea what they are doing. Micromanages at every step and leads by fear.

Pros

- OpenSea remains a top brand in the a fast-moving industry that is primed for growth in 2025. It feels like a really exciting time to be here. - Relatively flat structure and interest of leadership in being in the weeds means it's easy for anyone at any level to share feedback and ideas with the CEO and leadership team and take on new problems to solve. If you see something you want to work on and a challenge you want to address, you can do it - no matter what your title is. - Fully remote with relatively frequent offsites in cool locations

Cons

The intense pace is not for everyone, and if you are the type of person who likes to stay in one lane this is probably not for you. Everyone here at some point takes on work that is likely way outside what you thought your area of specialty was (this is a major pro for the right person but is something to be aware of). There was also an increase in meetings last year that I hope will be pulled back as we work out how to work better asynchronously.
