Pros
  1. You'll work with the most intelligent, curious, compassionate people. We are truly passionate about Bitcoin, crypto, fintech. For example, you'll find plenty of people who run their own full nodes on Raspberry PIs, or people do their own mining, etc.

  2. Kraken is one of the OG crypto companies. People who had critical roles in the crypto history books have worked at Kraken. There are very smart people whom you can ask to get any crypto question answered.

  3. Management, especially upper management, is really straight-to-the-point.

Cons
  1. Because the jobs are fully remote, this may not be for everyone. Communication, especially proactive communication, is extremely important, much more so than at a job on-premises/hybrid. Asynchronous communications sometimes make things difficult to make progress until you get the information you need, as it is not as easy as simply walking up to someone.
