Pros: This is the best team I have ever worked with. Everyone is helpful, responsible, and just genuinely good people. Working with such a team is a joy in itself. I've been here for over 3 years now and I never feel bored – there is always something new and exciting to do. I also advocate for the company policy of paying US-level salaries globally, which is very rare. I've already referred multiple friends here and plan to refer more; everyone is happy.

Cons: For me personally, none, but again it might be unique to my team.

Pros: -Working remotely is amazing. There are no set schedules or times to be online. Pretty much the entire company is remote, so you're never missing out on conversations or decisions made at the office without you. Kraken's culture is geared to remote first working. -Software development teams aren't top heavy and you get to work on what interests you. -Software dev leaders are fantastic; they believe in their teams and trust them to give accurate deadlines rather than imposing deadlines on them. -The company is extremely security conscious. -Leadership displays high levels of integrity with regards to token listings and products. -You get to work with a bunch of incredibly smart, dedicated, and engaged employees.

Cons: -No townhalls or other regular company wide communication around our goals or where we are going. This has started to change recently though. -The company was built by a small number of people and those people have a lot of responsibility. That responsibility is being spread out slowly but it can hold up development.

Pros: The company has been around for 10 years, but they only hit the hyper-scale button within the past year or two. As a result, most employees you meet have been here for 6 months or less and it has a very startup-y feel. They are just starting to put proper HR processes in place but everyone from the CEO on down is trying to keep culture good and bureaucracy to a minimum which is awesome. There is a ton of work to do but if you love crypto, there's no better place to be. Work/life balance can be a challenge but not because the company demands it, more because you want to keep up with awesome coworkers and make your own impact.

Cons: A bit of chaos should be expected. Sometimes it isn't clear who to ask for what, but people tend to be very friendly so don't be afraid to ask dumb questions. The company takes security extremely seriously. Kraken might be the top company in the world for cybersecurity practices and that isn't an exaggeration. Be prepared to work differently than what you're used to at other places.
