Pros

Chainalysis offers the rare combination of talented people, supportive leadership and meaningful work. The culture is collaborative and results oriented. There is a high level of trust and autonomy, teams can take ownership and make a real impact. There is a lot of opportunity in the market and the sales team is exceeding quotas. The team gets exposure to complex and interesting challenges because of our position in the market.

Cons

Fast paced environment, requires flexibility and adaptability

Pros

- only the people (EXCLUDING management). The amazing, talented people were the only reason why I survived for this long and turned down other offers while here. Aside from OG & leadership, the remaining people are the ones who helped me because the people in power were completely incompetent.

Cons

Where do I even begin? - sad, pathetic “benefits” - LESS than competitive pay (nowhere NEAR market rate whatsoever) - The most incompetent, unprofessional management that could possibly exist - Management is immature and operate as if the organization is high school - no 401k matching - cliques are prominent - this organization is in denial overall about the progress they’re making and the pathetic culture they can’t improve - The vibe score is purely performative. we have been voicing our qualms every quarter but it falls on deaf ears - Clear distinction of favourites on teams & who gets promoted because a rating of 4 on performance reviews requires approval (primary average/default is a 3) - I could continue but I do not want to dedicate any additional energy to this - if you enjoy feeling horrible about yourself and getting gaslit by leaders, this company is for you!
