Pros

Throughout the entire process, communication was very clear and timely. The technical assessment was fairer and in my opinion more accurate. Rather than requiring an live coding challenge, a take-home challenge was provided with a follow-up live review. This removes the high pressure anxiety aspect of completing most coding challenges while still allowing the employer to assess the interviewees understanding of the work and thought process behind the submission.

Cons

Interviewing with Kraken was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. And this reflects the values that I have learned this company lives and breathes: fairness, appreciation, and trust.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
