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.
