Pros

Insanely talented team, super cool projects, great brand value, excellent benefits and perks, high transparency with overall company direction and leadership decisions, good stock options and bitcoin payment incentive program, most individuals are friendly and easy to get along with, culture of openness leaves much freedom when it comes to expressing opinions, most mostly flat structure (you don't need to jump through tons of hierarchy to get your voice heard), flexible work hours and location, internal company calls and "lunch and learns" mean you can learn a ton of about the company and bitcoin industry directly from many of the top experts

Cons

too many projects for the size of the team, internal deadlines frequently missed, last-minute pushes without much advance warning

Pros

Out of all the places I have worked, I am most excited about the vision of Blockstream. The technology is fascinating, the team is filled with brilliant people, and most importantly to me - we are actually trying to better the world! I have tons of autonomy to really grow as a person and employee. Blockstream really values continuous learning and making employees happy, so they sponsor amazing events, conferences, and courses for everyone to attend.

Cons

As with any startup, there are growing pains. I've seen leadership do a lot of work to improve communication across the company, especially because we are a distributed team, so I imagine this is going to be a very constant challenge.

Pros

The people are pretty smart, and good technically. Fantastic WLB.

Cons

Lots of "propeller heads". Value good technical solutions over fixing actual problems for users. Product direction is not good. Management is also not good.
