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.
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.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. It was overall really smooth and fast. There were three interviews in total plus an assignment: - First screening with HR, taking 30 minutes. - Four days to complete the assignment. -
The process took 3 days. The HR team was really great and quickly set up the technical interview. However, the interviewers on the technical had only been there about 6 months and were not good at interviewing. I was able to answer all the questions
I applied online as I have many years of experience with the technologies they require. Within one hour I received an answer that they decided to go with another candidate. The job position is still open online two weeks later.
