Pros

If you’re lucky you get to put crypto on your resume.

Cons

Leadership is clueless, all came from big banks and have no experience running something. CEO is a robot and the team he brought in are incompetent. If you’re interviewing here, ask why so many people have left recently and listen to them say it’s normal to have turnover. One of the leaders has lost about 3/4 of his team in less than 6 months. Just went through a leveling exercise which did nothing for most people, or made them worse.

Pros

The healthcare is great. The insurance is needed due to the mental health decline you'll experience when dealing with supervisors and the gangs they create.

Cons

Management fratanizes with supervisors and create gangs that bully employees. Reporting violations to HR does nothing. Supervisors share details of other employees. It is a very hostile workplace in certain departments. Save yourself time and just don't apply.

Low quality, poor management, lots of smoke and mirrors

Pros

Has some cash to survive for a bit due to the (SPAC) IPO, unless management continues in its profligate ways of spending on acquisitions that do not make sense, or simply focus on self-preservation (of their jobs)

Cons

Too many to list really, but here are a few: It starts at the top with the CEO, who lacks vision, lacks basic leadership qualities, and does not have much credibility with the people that actually do the work internally. Cannot execute - haven't delivered anything meaningful on time... the engineering leadership is a joke for a company of this size Too many Yes-Men (and women) on the incompetent and bloated management team, with too many titles starting with a "Chief" - they even created a role called "Chief Administrative Officer" - go figure! The seem to mistakenly think that a press release is a product launch - the vaporware to real product ratio is unfortunately, completely off the charts!!!
