Pros
There's a lot of excitement about crypto and working in the industry. When I first started things were pretty solid. Everyone was very nice and it felt like a nice environment. The work they do in decriminalizing blockchain is very commendable.
Cons
As things went along it was clear they were drowning in Tech Debt and were unable to deal with it. They have a very strong 'we can do this' and never bring in the experts who can. Yearly planning was a joke that no one followed, the software architecture is a tangled mess, and the teams are so busy keeping everything working that there really isn't much time to make improvements. They are a series F but with no revenue plan (or at least none that anyone in product or engineering could articulate) The worst part was getting gaslighted when I tried to bring this up to help. I've worked in quite a few start-ups and never before did I get gaslighted so bad. It's like those movies with an idyllic utopia until you find something wrong and then they turn nasty.
