Pros: There was a good work-life balance and an easy work environment.

Cons: Very unstable higher management. There was no accountability for actions.

Pros: Love the culture of working remote and async communication.

Cons: Async communication can be difficult across disparate timezones.

Pros: You do get to work on a relatively modern tech stack with competent peers. You may also learn several marketable skills. Other things to point out: * Few people work late, though you are implicitly expected to be in early. * Food is good.

Cons: Bad managers seem to be a relatively common complaint among IC employees I talked to. I reported to a micromanager and didn't get the impression I could do much about it without burning bridges. Jack (CEO) seems to be phoning-in anything not related to BTC. Several of the VPs are very risk-averse, and there is no real vision for the future other than a very vague "grow" directive. The company is complacent about its market position, and I don't expect it to keep growing. Other things to point out: * Complacent business strategy leads to boring work. * The SF office is very loud due to poor acoustics and tight desk layouts. * WFH is generally discouraged. * Stock appreciation is considered during comp review. Refreshers/raises are poor in general, and there will almost certainly be a big 4-year cliff now that the stock is stagnant. * Useless cost-saving measures (like reduced food service) are creeping in.
