Protocol Labs Reviews

PL is now just trend-chasing. There is no good direction. There are hostile employees. There is no respect for academia or people with deep expertise.

My experience at PL was pretty bad right off the bat. The job I was sold in the 6 hours of interviews was not at all what I was given upon being hired. I was then assigned to a manager whom consistently held my head under the water; they completely ruined my experience and denied me any room for career growth. After months of being drip-fed menial tasks, having my questions or concerns flat out ignored for weeks on end, going through other communication channels, and being denied access to important company resources, I reached out to HR to try and resolve the problems I was facing and nothing changed whatsoever. After 3 months I eventually found out that, two weeks prior, a group had been formed around the task I was to be working on. I learned from an announcement at an all-hands meeting. Nobody even bothered to tell me nor invite me. I handed in my resignation only 3 1/2 months into the position, and nobody at the company even bothered to ask me why I was leaving or where my discontent came from during my offboarding. I just had my permissions revoked, no meeting, no nothing. They are incredibly disorganized, have a clear lack of experience on the management levels, lack diversity, and frankly don't care much about their employee's satisfaction or place in the company. I regard the entire experience as a massive waste of time. Explore options at other blockchain organisations -- I'm now at a new workplace where my time and expertise is actually respected.
