I applied online. The process took four weeks.

I went through five interviews with two different teams at Kraken and received an offer. The people were great, and the process felt professional and well-organized. But after the offer, I learned that Kraken’s background check partner automatically rejects candidates who've lived in countries where they can't perform a criminal record check, even if that was years ago. That's what happened in my case. This should really be made clear at the very beginning of the process to avoid wasting time for both candidates and teams.
