Pros

Fantastic place to work if you want to break into the crypto scene. It will have you making a lot of industry connections and learning web3/blockchain things that are hard to learn on your own.

Cons
  • Mission too vague; "increase economic freedom"? This doesn't give much direction.

  • Lots of products compete with other products internally, leading to weird corporate politics.

  • Layoffs have done a number on morale.

  • Only one offsite a year. IMO, a remote company needs an offsite a quarter to function properly. Meeting so infrequently kills team culture.

  • Bad work-life balance; worth it if you're passionate about crypto and Web3.

Advice to Management
  • Up offsite budget, frequency.
