Pros

Salary, remote-work, flexibility, events and talented people.

Cons

Unorganized, lacks structure, lacks experienced HR, no feedback system, lacks processes and accountability, senior leadership incompetent and favored by the CEO. 👉🏽 The CEO made bad hiring decisions for the first 4 years of the company which led to the company’s foundation being rocky. For the first 4 years, the company struggled with creating a vision and mission statement. 👉🏽 The website was something the whole company couldn’t agree on which was not supposed to be the whole company’s responsibility, just a few. 👉🏽 Many senior leaders from big centralized companies were brought to run a decentralized company without any training or mentorship. All those men and some women who joined weren't and aren’t flexible to adapt to the future of work. 👉🏽 The company is majority men and without the very few women who care about diversity and inclusion, the company doesn’t care or prioritize this area at all. 👉🏽 They fired highly talented individuals who took the company’s brand globally. 👉🏽 They hired a CMO who had no experience and costed the company a couple of million in ethereal summits that brought no ROI. 👉🏽 The company to this day, April 2022 has not decided on equity and shares. They are dragging the process for as long as ConsenSys has existed. I could write more but I think you get the point. If you read the whole thing, then I hope you make the best choice for yourself. Even with the bad reviews, it looks like the company is appealing and doing well, but its a facade because you will face many obstacles and challenges and the constant friction with difficult leadership will affect your self-worth and self-esteem. So many talented individuals globally joined this company left leaving disappointed, disrespected, unacknowledged and unappreciated. Go work for a company that will lift you up rather than break you down.

Pros

CEO is of the nicest people and clueless to how bad his leadership team is.

Cons

The entire leadership team is very bad except the CEO. They only care to max extract the man anyway they can. Brand team, most of marketing is boys club. Marketing, brand, and social media teams all very bad and block many good campaigns ideas only care to make themselves look good. Over last three years they lost many very creative people. They used good projects to hold the wallet above water instead of cutting the team with the most bloat. They put the wrong leadership in charge of these projects on purpose and cut many very smart people who cared very much about the company.
