Pros: You're constantly challenged. It's a stimulating environment where you keep learning.
Cons: It can get pretty heavy. There's a lot of red tape, and it's hard to get things merged. Restructurings and layoffs happen often, so you never know when your turn will come.

Incredible culture, awesome products, great people
Manager Site Reliability Engineering • Current Employee

Pros: No BS. This is how a remote company should be run. Very well oiled machine. Massive focus on security, super intelligent and interesting coworkers.
Cons: Crypto is 24/7, there's No 401k match, stock options vest over 6 years. Unlimited vacation is not actually unlimited.
