Pros

- Passionate people at the execution level, who really want to believe they are making a difference - Easy ascension for line towers and micro managers - Desperate for folks with good resumes to join to add to their human assets to fuel sales pitches, likely able to get over compensated for a basic position

Cons

- Due to poor leadership and decision making the company is almost out of money meaning little to no budgets to operate toward their plans which means failure is guaranteed - Several rash purchases of other companies have led to layoffs so job security is non existent. Said purchases were also handled extremely poorly, one company purchased over a year ago has still yet to produce any meaningful product and was left to just sit for an entire year not integrated, bleeding cash - Leadership built / created two offices in competitive cities which was a complete waste of money for an entirely remote workforce - CEO is obsessed with selling so much that the company objectives are aimed toward creating great sales points rather than a functional company. ie. "We're the 3rd biggest chain of transaction and wallets" which is a misleading statement that folds under any sort of investigation since the sales are coming from an acquired company that's only blockchain by a means to circumvent an existing marketplace and tech - Executives openly oppose expertise when it contradicts their opinion, request data to combat their opinions and then ignore that data. Then ostracize leaders who do not agree with them or dare to point out concerns - Deadlines are set arbitrarily to meet "Funding" conversations despite teams of experts and product owners saying they can't meet the deadline, resulting in numerous failed products and sales initiatives - Executives must make EVERY decision, so you will own nothing. Given leadership's lack of experience this leads to core business units not getting the support they've needed to make initiatives a success. This has led to the most talented individuals leaving the company - Despite riding their teams extremely hard bonuses were scrapped this year, which was an incredible blow to morale. Sure, sales goals were not met, but the blame for this can be squarely placed on the executive team, who insisted on ramming through poorly planned sales that all fell flat despite being warned they would - The company as a whole is managed by old school thinking and is about two years behind the market

Pros

- Unlimited/flexible PTO - Some good pockets of talented people and teams - Learning opportunities; warranted or not - Competitive pay during COVID era

Cons

Frequent Layoffs due to: - Incompetent leadership and senior management - Executives preach "People First, One Team, Path Finders, Trust, & Value" as the company pillars, but their actions tell a different story - Leaders are out of touch with their subordinates - Poor or non-existent infrastructure - Atrocious cash management/overspending is an issue; layoffs have accumulated to well over 50% of the workforce total today as compared to employee headcount before the end of 2022 - No standardize process between teams; duplicate platforms, processes, and operations exists which causes unnecessary employee stress, bottlenecks in work flow, & expenses - Lack of strategy in scaling the company through growth and operations caused uncontrollable cash burn typical of tech companies - Defective approach in downsizing/integrating multiple workers' responsibilities into leaner teams - Inability to figure out everyone's roles which leads to constant change in scope of work - No stability; recent situations where employees are hired and then are suddenly terminated in less than 2 months due to low-quality planning - In its current state, anyone who takes vacation or leave is in danger of being termed since management is focused on squeezing every employee dry of their sanity to accomplish unrealistic targets - Utilization of phantom job postings to convince workers to deliver at most output under the guise that "help is on the way"; assuming this is done to keep costs down - The above indicates the deteriorating state of company’s runway

Pros

Opportunity to work with many great engineers on interesting problems

Cons

Misleading press releases after layoffs can make job hunting difficult. Investment in the company does not equate to job stability. Leadership is often dishonest about the current state of the company
