Pros

* Great perks (Catered lunches daily, kombucha/cold filtered coffer on tap, etc). * Smart, hard-working co-workers * Will learn a lot about crypto

Cons

These guys over the last few years have gone through a couple of "purges" where they bring on a bunch of developers and product managers to build out the new features and products they think they need at the time and then they lay a bunch of people off and say it's because of budgetary reasons. That makes sense until you see them hiring for basically all the positions they just let go the next month. I was part of a lay off in November 2019 that affected 4 devs and 2 product manager that were hired around the same time in June of 2019. One month later they are advertising on Angellist for 4 devs and a Senior Product Manager. After talking to a few of the other folks who were laid off, I learned they had done this in 2018 as well. Be wary of these guys, they are not honest people. CA is an at-will state so they can let us go for any reason so there's no need for lies right? I think the only reason they've been able to get away with it is that nobody has said anything on Glassdoor, which I'm fixing now.

Pros

The interviews are great because everyone is upbeat and has insightful things to say. You immediately get the sense that you're welcome and it will be a fun, fast, excellent place to work. Pay is the standard market rates. Hours expected are long.

Cons

Read all the reviews. The old COO is the new CEO and all that that entails. Someone wrote he's a bully and will blow you off - well, not to your face anyway. Some of the toxic remains. Great companies have the top spots empowering their teams below. Not here. Lots of control issues that prevent improvements and then they fire and re-hire over and over in a cycle to try to improve which means loss of knowledge base and system chaos. If you have an option, go elsewhere.

Pros

work from anywhere, benefits for employees, 401K match at 4%, hardworking, salaries were low but they revised to be competitive in market, good step for anyone wanting to get into cryptocurrency

Cons

toxic culture, leadership problems, micromanagement, no work life balance, no transparency selective on who they announce is leaving just 6 in their executive leadership team from Sales and HR but only 2 announced the other recent reviews are true, don't work here what was told during the interview is not how things are
