Pros

Compensation and benefits are really good, the people below executive leadership level are mostly awesome (although their numbers are diminishing), the company events are super slick.

Cons

2 years ago an executive leadership team was brought in and broke the beautiful bubble that was Chain. In my opinion they have slowly but consistently ruined everything good about the company. From creating silos that terminated all meaningful collaboration and cross team working, to failing at internal communications, killing the mission oriented work culture, the ability to even work out how to get simple decisions made without asking 28 people only to give up without a result, the ability to make any difference to the product vanished. It’s pretty much impossible to establish what they want you to achieve in the next two quarters in order to demonstrate success unless you have a sales target. The sexism - rife at every level. Bro Executive leadership has a lot to answer for, it feels like they’ve seized control from the founders who used to be such motivational visionaries and now seem tapped out. Product Marketing trying to make the Tech sound good instead of understanding what the customer needs.

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

- remote work, flex hours - some directors are ok.

Cons

- terrible managers in engineering, especially one senior manager is a control freak. Pushes people out. - no engineering culture, if you end up in the wrong team life is a hell. - there is no next level if you are a senior engineer, you stuck in the same title. - salaries are below avg
