Pros

I’ve been with the company for over two years now, and I can genuinely say it’s been a rewarding chapter in my career. What stands out the most is the team culture: smart, kind, and deeply committed people who genuinely care about their craft and each other. We’re fully remote and truly global, and our open source foundation means transparency and impact are baked into everything we do. There’s a strong focus on excellence, whether you’re in engineering, ops, or any other part of the org, the bar is high and people take real pride in doing their work well.

Cons

That said, it’s still a startup. Things move fast, not everything is perfectly structured, and sometimes you’ll need to figure things out as you go. It’s not the right place for someone who wants a rigid playbook or expects to be told exactly what to do. But if you’re proactive, adaptable, and energized by contributing to advancing the web3 space, you’ll do well here.

Pros

Very well-known and reputable in the crypto space, which is rare in this industry. Offers excellent audits and security services.

Cons

Org is clearly struggling, especially with scaling above the 60-person mark. They fired the entire marketing team in one fell swoop. Considering the utter lack of diversity, it felt like a bunch of confused little boys running around and getting their decision-making intel from Twitter. I watched the company pivot over and over again. Cut bonuses even though they exceeded expected profit. Fire employees with little warning. It created an environment of fear and hostility. Lots of very, very unhappy employees working 70+ hour weeks, on Slack and responsive 16h/day, etc. Oh, and they rarely offer equity to devs. Good luck.
