Pros

Colleagues can be subject matter experts in their fields and open to sharing their expertise and knowledge. Products are improving and company is trying to correct costly strategic mistakes made in the past.

Cons

Cultures and values are for show as senior management are not open and do not have empathy. The CEO is ineffective and creates a culture of fear, thereby stifling dissent. If you are in the inner circle and/or support the positive spin regardless of the truth, you will be able to get away with anything (eg. toxic work culture).

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate your honesty in highlighting both the strengths and areas for improvement within Elliptic. We’re glad to hear that you value the expertise and knowledge sharing among your colleagues, as well as the efforts being made to improve our products and correct past strategic errors. However, we are sorry to learn about your experiences regarding our company culture and senior management. Creating a positive and supportive work environment is a top priority for us, and it's sad to hear that some employees feel that our values are not reflected in our leadership's actions. We take these concerns seriously and are committed to addressing them in a meaningful way. We understand the importance of accountability and effective leadership, and we are actively working to foster a culture of openness, empathy and inclusivity at all levels of our organisation. We also recognise the importance of fair compensation and have noted your suggestions regarding executive remuneration in our ongoing efforts to support our employees. Thanks again for your honest feedback!

Pros

* Mission-focused organization tackling financial crime in the crypto space - work is meaningful and urgent * Exceptional team of smart, collaborative, and down-to-earth colleagues who show up for each other, even when things get tough. * Culture of learning and personal growth, with opportunities to deepen both technical and professional capabilities. * A high-ownership environment with ample opportunities to make a visible impact, shape the company's direction, and grow quickly - 'seize the day!' * Exposure to complex, fast-evolving challenges at the intersection of crypto, regulation, and technology * True collaborative spirit, where working cross-functionally is both encouraged and needed to succeed * The problems you will help solve at Elliptic are world-changing!

Cons

* Hypergrowth brings a level of ambiguity and constant change, maybe not for those who prefer fixed structures and daily predictability. * Prioritization triage is fundamental - internal processes and change management are evolving as the company scales and may lead to misalignment or rework at times. * Navigating shifting priorities can require resilience and adaptability, especially as the business moves quickly.
