fun times, good people, horrible high-level organization skills and executive team
Pros
great at hiring entry level positions and getting people the experience they need very flexible schedule, at least for salaried employees solid pay good benefits decent culture
Cons
HR's cult-like mentality about the CEO Former president acted like she was still in high school. Obvious, in-your-face nepotism Only focused on blockchain. They continuously lie or at the very least stretch the truth to the rest of the company (i.e. only a few layoffs turns into hundreds in several rounds after they swear "this is the last one"). There needs to be more transparency because no one can be effective if they are constantly stressed about whether the company or their position will survive until next week. Never had a clear direction of what we were doing, but from the top down, it was basically just "wing it, guys. you're smart enough to make this happen". then get mad at specific teams when things dont go as expected they lay off hundreds of people, yet give thousands in bonuses to a few specific ones. alcohol. i'm not talking "beer on your lunch break" drinks. I mean, any holiday was an excuse to drink company-provided hard liquor. many people got pretty drunk often. dont get me wrong, it was fun, but id rather have a bonus instead of a crazy high liquor budget.
