Process
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took three weeks.
Time wasters. Kraken offered me a job, which I declined, because the offer was below my ask. I can't understand why they led me through three rounds of interviews and a case study if they were planning on making an offer below my ask. When I declined, their recruiter suggested I move to a cheaper location. That was inappropriate, in my opinion. If I were you, I'd interview elsewhere. They wasted my time and could waste yours.
Questions
I cannot discuss the interview process because I signed an NDA.

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
London, England
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.

Flexible, engaging work with strong rewards and a great culture
Software Engineer • Current Employee
London, England
September 25, 2026
Pros: I genuinely enjoy working here. There are plenty of opportunities to develop and grow, and new, interesting work keeps the role engaging. The role is flexible and remote, with regular retreats and work sessions that give us opportunities to connect with colleagues in person. The culture is great, there are lots of learning sessions, and we have access to the latest tools to help us work efficiently.
Cons: The work can be demanding at times, but hard work is rewarded with strong compensation and the potential for additional bonuses for top performers.
