- 5.0May 7, 2018Operations AssociateCurrent Employee, less than 1 yearNew York, NY
Pros
- Kind, engaging, and challenging employees - No micromanaging, your success is in your own hands - Ability to communicate with all the levels of the company, your though makes a difference - Snacks that go on forever
Cons
- Very dynamic workplace, always changing, very fast paced- some may not enjoy it
- 5.0Mar 1, 2016Business DevelopmentCurrent EmployeeNew York, NY
Pros
- Great people and culture making a comfortable working environment - Creating exciting innovative products within financial services - Employs holacracy which promotes a flat organization, flexibility to work on what you want and decentralized decision making - Diverse workforce with people coming from financial services, startups, consulting firms, etc. - Lots to learn! Based on the above (innovative products, wide range of skills, flexibility to work on what you want) - Fast growing company that already has a global presence (New York, London, Singapore) - Flexible vacation policy and remote work policy
Cons
- Startup environment (like any startup) can be challenging at times - Holacracy is a major part of governance and how day-to-day work is done. This is not a con in itself, but as an employee you will need to train up and blend into the holocratic system, which differs from traditional governance/operating structures

Pros
This is a great company to work for! I've had such a good experience here so far. The current engineers are all very knowledgable and also willing to learn new things. The CTO, CEO, COO, etc. are all very available and help out when they can. The technology they use is all modern and can be switched with good enough reasons.
Cons
It gets a little cold sometimes but otherwise nothing terrible! It is in the middle of grand central so lots of foot traffic getting to and from work.

Pros
itBit is an exciting place to work. itBit works with cutting edge bitcoin and blockchain based technologies and the company's lean mentality means there is always a lot going on. The office environment is very open and there are lots of smart and interesting people who work here.
Cons
Not many downsides. May not be for people who prefer working in a slower paced workplace and/or with a more traditional hierarchical company structure.
- 4.0Nov 30, 2015Anonymous EmployeeCurrent EmployeeNew York, NY
Pros
I work with some of the smartest people I've ever met. The people here are hard-working, motivated and genuinely like each other. It also says a lot that a small, growing startup was willing to adopt Holacracy at such a young age. It shows investment in its people and the courage to try new things.
Cons
Sometimes expectations aren't clearly defined and expressed prior to projects starting, which inevitably leads to disappointment. I think there could be more of a focus on building people and talent from the ground up.
- 5.0May 2, 2018Operations AssociateFormer Intern, less than 1 yearNew York, NY
Pros
itBit runs on a great, diverse group of people with ambitious goals in a burgeoning industry. The culture strikes a nice balance between emphasizing a high standard for excellence and encouraging camaraderie amongst colleagues. Sleek, modern, and high-tech office. Stacked kitchen with an endless supply of coffee and frequently replenished fresh fruit.
Cons
The office can get a bit chilly at times, so it’s always a safer bet to come with a sweatshirt ready.

Pros

Fast paced and you will be doing a million things at once, fun for some people but it may not be a good fit for everyone
