Process
I applied online.
It took two weeks for HR to get back to me and schedule further rounds. The first round was a technical screen with the lead and senior software engineer. After the initial intro discussion, it was a coding exercise. They asked me to build a short form of a game with a random online code editor, which was not working properly. We wasted the whole forty to fifty minutes fixing errors in the editor, instead of actual coding. Kraken guys, please either use a stable code editor or let us use our own editors. I am assuming we will not write code in an online editor once we get hired. After that, there was no reply from them.
Questions

Kraken Work Experiences
- 5.0Kraken is the best place to workStaff Software Engineer • Current EmployeeDecember 12, 2024Pros: There is a good vibe, unlimited PTO, competitive salary and share, full remote work, no micro-management, and good insurance with 100% pay for yourself and 50% pay for your family.Cons: There is no 401k match delay in the IPO.
- 5.0Tons of Work but FunEngineering • Current EmployeeMarch 22, 2022Pros: 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.
