Pros

100% remote company with ok salary.

Cons

Upper management (founders and C level) is absolutely ego driven, clueless and despotic. Fake 'radical transparency' which means employees get patronized and bullied on daily basis. Weird obsession with punctuality which means people have been fired for being a minute late to a meeting. Absolute lack of structure. Avoid this company like the plague.

Hi there — I am so sorry this is the experience you’ve had with us at Exodus. I will try my best to address some of what you have mentioned above and I am happy to address this in a personal conversation as well. Exodus still has a lot of room to grow. As a young company, it is expected that we experience some growing pains. Although we don’t have as much structure and procedure as a more corporate setting, we are working hard to implement better systems that support clear communication, throughout our organization. Transparency, which you also mentioned, has been at the core of our business since the very beginning, starting with transparent salaries. Our intent with this has always been to avoid confusion and unnecessary layers of management. Our goal is to empower our employees to do their best work without wasting their time. For this reason, our staff will always be direct and honest in their communication. Regarding punctuality, yes, this is incredibly important for us. It is communicated to everyone early on and nobody has ever been terminated for being a minute late. We understand life and long meetings happen but we do have a strict policy around respecting people’s time. We make a big effort so you can work on what you want, in the schedule you want — and in order to do so, we need to be laser focused when it comes to meetings with others. We are always working to make Exodus a better company. Overall, we value your feedback and are making actionable changes to improve the employee experience so that in the near future it is second to none. If there are any recommendations you can make that you feel would help us reach our goal, please let us know.

Pros

Exodus offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of technology, finance, and design. The mission to help users exit the traditional financial system is not just a slogan—it's embedded in the product and company culture. The environment is remote-first, transparent, and fast-paced, with high autonomy and trust given to individuals. I had the chance to lead a multidisciplinary team and contribute to impactful launches like the new dashboard, onboarding flow, NFTs, and the Web3 extension. The team is talented, collaborative, and genuinely passionate about what they do.

Cons

Due to the fast-paced nature of the crypto industry, priorities can shift quickly. This can sometimes lead to ambiguity or evolving expectations, especially during scaling phases. Strong self-direction and adaptability are key.
