Pros

BitTitan provides many interesting perks, such as free food, occasional catered lunches, interesting team-building events, etc. Also, many great people, and many of the smartest Engineers I've ever worked with.

Cons

The majority of positive reviews on Glassdoor for BitTitan are written by HR, or a member of senior management (upon request from HR), in an attempt to game the ratings system. The issues brought up consistently in other reviews by former employees are definitely valid, and should cause one to approach BitTitan with caution. CEO has a reputation for name calling, bullying, and intimidation, and I have personally sat in many meetings that ended with several minutes of shouting and bullying from the CEO. Many key positions are understaffed, because the company pays significantly less than market salary. Employees who do stay are often forced to work long hours to make up for lack of staffing in key areas, such as engineering. Many serious challenges exist for management, and while I emphasize in many cases, ultimately this leads to a poor work environment for most employees and many talented people are unhappy.

CTO responding... I guess I have to congratulate the poster on his persistence posting multiple negative reviews from the same IP and being the real bully. I've known our CEO for the past 18 years, and I've never seen him (or anyone else at BitTitan) bully another employee. Have I seen our CEO abruptly leave a meeting in frustration? Absolutely, and this happens in any company. Obviously some people just can't deal with a bruised ego... About being understaffed, this is 100% a side effect of growth. Here at BitTitan, we move fast and have big plans. As a company, our employee count has consistently doubled every year. This alone proves that we're always eager to hire more talented people who meet our bar. In 2017, we'll be doubling our office space once again (moving to downtown Bellevue after reaching almost 100% office capacity). Regarding employees being unhappy... I am sorry but employees would not remain at BitTitan if they were unhappy. There are too many interesting opportunities in the area for this. And it turns out that we have a proven, ridiculously low attrition rate for our industry. Not to mention being repeatedly nominated as one of the best company to work for.

Surprisingly Toxic Workplace

Pros

They know how to sell the company well. Compensation and benefits are decent. Effort is made to organise company events and happy hours.

Cons

Not sure where to start. Toxic workplace culture, excessive micromanagement, deceptive representation, questionable politics and business practices, the list goes on.

Good company, depending on department

Pros

Pay is low but their are some great benefits including free food, PTO, birthday celebrations, commission rates, and mostly great group of people to work with. Most departments have very encouraging employees

Cons

As mentioned above the pay is a little low but the benefits make up for it. Depending on the department it can be stressful. I have been here about a year and my boss is great, but I have heard and seen some bad things including coffee being thrown in meetings, managers calling people names, and in a group meeting another department manager saying we "are all too stupid to understand" what he was talking about. HR knows about all of this but does very little.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are rolling out quite a few new trainings around leadership and change management, and will continue to strive to improve!
