Process
The interview was not hard, but the interviewer asked vague questions and constantly interrupted when I tried to give an explanation. The questions were very open-ended, such as "What do you like about x data warehouse?". It felt like the interviewer just wanted to talk at me instead of having an actual conversation.
Questions
I signed a non-disclosure agreement.

Great place if you want to do actual work
Data Engineer • Current Employee
August 9, 2025
Pros: It is an S tier crypto company. It is a great place if you want to do actual work. If you’re after a 9-5 coasting gig, look elsewhere.
There are high expectations and appropriate rewards. It does remote well. It is not woke. There are smart, friendly colleagues.
Cons: Job security far from guaranteed, things can change fast.

Bad Company
ML Engineer • Current Employee

May 19, 2025
Pros: The culture is generally ok, but the level of people working here is really low. Most people are from random universities and are not technically good enough to do their jobs. You would end up working under some loser who doesn't understand one thing about engineering and because of politics would be the engineering manager of the company.
Cons: Please don't join these crypto companies if you are a technical person with good education and decent credentials.
These companies are for substandard people that couldn't find jobs in other big tech or other tech companies.
