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.

BitTitan Response

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.
