Pros

Very very high pay. Free medical/dental. They are fairly generous when giving out their useless crypto "bonus" International paid work retreats

Cons

Do you want to keep your soul? don't work here Do you want to keep your dignity? don't work here ESPECIALLY don't work here if you have children because any mention of them or even the slightest need to accommodate for having kids will leave you open for mocking, demotions and ridicule by the c-team

Pros

It's a good product, though clearly failing against new competitors (Arc)

Cons

Company has a highly toxic culture. Employees who are POC are never promoted, white employees routinely get promotions. Their data is pretty public so everyone can validate it. It does all stem from C-level and exec level (vast majority who are white). The company suffers from significant racism in large part for two reasons: -company lacks actual data on performance, since it can't actually tie any activity to product growth or revenue. As a result relies mostly on subjectivity of people who have been there for a while. -CEO has a long standing history of being associated with alt-right

We are genuinely sorry if this was your experience at Brave. We strive to create a welcoming, fair culture for all employees, with merit-based rewards that focus solely on a person’s work. Our C-Suite, Board, and HR teams have worked hard to combat unconscious bias, via specific DEI training and certifications for all managers. The personal political beliefs of any Brave leader are “left at the door,” and expressly do NOT influence hiring, reviews, or promotions. We also have processes in place to address discrimination, harassment, and any other employee concern, and to do so promptly and anonymously. We’ve searched our (confidential) HR records, and found no situations that match the description you’ve given above. If you—or someone you know—has experienced something that diverges from the north star we’ve described above, we encourage you to contact Brave HR, your supervisor, or any other people manager. We can assure you that we take people matters seriously, and will act promptly and decisively to address any concern. Brave is a small and scrappy team; we know that Brave would not exist without the people who bring it to life. All employees matter to us as makers, and as human beings. This is part of what makes Brave such a wonderful place to work: we’re small enough that everyone knows everyone else’s name, and respects everyone else’s differing—but complementary—abilities, ideas, and perspectives. While we have a variety of leaders at every level of varying race, nationality, gender, LGBTQ+, disability, and neurodiversity status and identification, we know the important work of DEI is never “done.” It’s this very cultural mindset that ensures we never stop improving.

Pros

The positioning of the company is unique - founded by Brendan Eich (creator of JavaScript, co-founder of Mozilla), open source, strong ethics and focus on privacy and security, own ecosystem for rewarding content creators and probably one of the few blockchain projects that are actually delivering something to tens of millions of users. Definitely fighting the good fight against "evil" parties like Facebook and Google and other surveillance capitalism data hoarders, malware, annoying ads and tracking. Lots of autonomy and space to grow, light on process and big on getting stuff done. Bit over 100 colleagues on-board which sometimes feels little for our plans and ambitions. Work is very visible and meaningful and it's great to be able to show to friends what we're working on. Really hardworking and smart people, such a pleasure to be in the trenches with.

Cons

As any distributed and cross-timezone start-up that grows like crazy it can get hectic at times but that is also the beauty of it.
