Process
I applied online.
The initial interview with the recruiter was standard. It was followed by an assignment with an unrealistic deadline that kept randomly changing. No feedback on the assignment was given after I completed it. The overall experience was negative and unprofessional, and it felt like a total waste of time.

Software Engineer • Current Employee
April 22, 2023
Pros: I joined roughly one year ago and right away I was working on some amazing things.
The onboarding process was very fun and made you feel as you were part of a wonderful community despite everyone being remote.
And that's one of the great things with Kraken, despite everyone being remote you never feel like someone is far when you need help.
I have a wonderful boss and colleagues who value you and your work.
The work is fun and you have carte blanche to use your creativity.
We have annual meet-ups and informal meet-ups too and even have yoga and meditation over zoom.
Cons: It can be fast-paced, which I like but the company has been growing so some of the internal processes are not yet mature, however, there's on going work to standardise a lot of these things.
