Great team - questionable management - Anonymous employee Lisk Employee Review

- Super interesting work at the cutting edge of web3 - Awesome opportunity to work within the Ethereum / Optimism ecosystems - Company focuses on real world blockchain use cases that can make a huge impact in the underserved markets that they focus on in Africa and South East Asia (eg bringing DeFi to unbanked populations in Sub Saharan Africa) - Company works with some of the best and most well-known partners / protocols in the crypto ecosystem - Company is growing very fast and has some very ambitious but also achievable targets, and believes it can be the port of call for blockchain developers / founders in EMs - Very humble, nice and low ego team with a flat hierarchy. Genuine feeling that everyone is working together and all ideas are welcome and encouraged from everyone. Many are figuring things out for the first time and everyone is helpful / ecnouraging in thinking things through - Awesome travel opportunities in Africa and South Asia and other global conferences - Work from anaywhere as long as can cover core European (CET) hours - Respectful work-life balance and decent pay

- The fact the team is quite spread out geographically can make it harder to build internal relationships over video calls (one con of fully remote work). However, there are opportunities to meet team members in person at conferences and company organised meet-ups / events in cool locations (last company retreat was in Morocco) - L2s are a very competitive space and the company is still very much building up mindshare in the crypto community - There aren't many notable benefits / perks relative to other companies in this space

Lisk is one of the OGs in the Web3 space, an impressive 8-year journey. Like any company, there have been ups and downs, but in my half a decade here, I can confidently say it's an incredible place to work. Employees are genuinely heard, and management truly listens. The focus on emerging markets is bringing about a real difference and actually helping the world with blockchain - unlike some of the other projects are there. Oh yes, and our team is amazing! People are just incredible.

no big cons really... as other web3 companies it's quite high-paced and also dependent on the market, but it's just the nature of the industry. Some effort is done to hire a diverse team but would be great to see even more women in the management team.
