Pros

- The hiring process is relatively straightforward, making it suitable for newcomers. - Base salaries are consistently paid without significant delays. - The HR team is notably supportive and pleasant to work with. - There are also a few bright minds within the team.

Cons

- The leadership at this company is among the worst I've experienced. The CEO seems powerless and incompetent, often taking 5-6 months to make decisions while leaving employees in the dark on Slack. - There's a severe lack of proper product management vertical, leading to chaos. - The company is bogged down by unnecessary bureaucracy, useless calls and a 'cover-your-ass' mentality. - Additionally, the salaries are well below market standards, and the prospect of a raise is practically non-existent. - Promised bonuses never being paid without any explanation.

Pros

At P2P.org, the work sits at the edge of where crypto and DeFi are still being figured out. Validators, staking infrastructure, restaking, networks most people have not heard of yet. The sort of problems where the answer is not in a textbook, because the textbook has not been written. What makes that genuinely fun, rather than just hard, is the company. Engineers, researchers, and client teams who hold the bar high and treat each other like adults. If helping shape the rails the next decade of finance will run on sounds more like a Tuesday than a tagline, the fit will show up quickly.

Cons

Here is the honest flip side. The pace is fast and the ground keeps moving. Roadmaps get rewritten when a new protocol lands, priorities shift when a network changes its rules, and certainty is in shorter supply than at a company selling something the world has already decided it wants. The niche is narrow too. Staking, validators, restaking. Explaining the job at a family dinner will not get easier with time. And the bar set by colleagues can feel uncomfortable on a Wednesday afternoon. For someone who finds that energizing rather than draining, the discomfort is the point. The same conditions that make this place hard are the ones that make it worth showing up for.
