Pros
Interesting range of people will expose you to the clusterfsck that is the intersection of finance, technology and blockchain hype. Very interesting concepts and lofty long-term goals. You will be given a lot of free reign and creative problem solving time to tackle some big and interesting problems. Appreciates open source and community involvement.
Cons
Long inane discussions about inconsequential, hypothetical and tedious minutiae where one tiny semantic difference will fundamentally change each and every technical detail. Not good at simplifying products and ideas to the point where they can be delivered or released with the resources and expertise at hand. Overly grand greenfield thinking, without understanding how any of it would be achieved in practice. Contradictory wall of non-tech / corporate / banking influence.
