Pros
* Big players backing financially * Name is good for Resume if you want to add Crypto to it * Recently company gave a flat raise to everyone in the org. This is not common with any other organization
Cons
* No Goal: For instance the company is not sure what type of company this is. Crypto? Loyalty? Trading? Payment? They have no idea. The agenda changes every all hands meeting (Actually, it is a all hands show) * Tough on hiring: For hiring a Jr. resource you will have to wait for next Gavin's/Board Meeting approval. As a policy there is no joining Bonus. We where loosing a lot of good potential hires just for this. * No Ownership: No one care to improve anything. All they want is lights on mode. No one cares to work in improving the product and providing customer value. All they say, "Let customer start using then once we have revenue flow we will improve". * All hands Meeting: I definitely wanted to talk about the All Hands Meeting. This is one BIG waste of company time. Initially they were meeting every Friday till they went Public. After that the frequency was made to once in 2 weeks. All they do is Gavin propaganda in this meeting. All speakers in the meeting also talk as if Gavin moved the mountains. In reality, they change the company focus in every meeting, one meeting they boast themselves as Bitcoin company, Then they will remember an acquired group of people and say they are expanding on Loyalty they they will start speaking about payment solutions. The worst part is they will start as if there is nothing on fire. * Trust: I will have to say this, there is no trust from the employees towards the management and vice versa. Key founding members left the company immediately after company went public. CTO also left sooner. The technology company does not have a CTO. Team members leave every week. We lost some very important team members because of the way they were treated by the leaders. Very strange I have seen various HR contacts in a short span of time. When I send mail to a HR for something and next time when I had to talk to HR for something else the mailbox bounces. They left! * No transparency: The leadership always say they conduct all hand meeting and are a very transparent org. But in reality, the leadership would say something one day and the agenda would change immediately and will never bring the old topic. No one will know what happened to the old topic. * Org Leveling: Leveling was some big time joke. All Gavin's friends were graded higher and anyone not in good terms with Gavin was leveled lower. I know some good members left our team as they were not leveled correctly. * Diversity & Inclusion: This is something everyone should know. The color of the skin play a key role in influencing leadership. The thing is it cannot be spotted easily but with a closer look you will be able to make it out. This company for some reason does not hire immigrants even for desperate positions that are open for months.
