Pros

You may work with professional team members

Cons

Almost everything goes wrong because of bad management. And if the manager is good, the top managers will fire him. If the manager is bad then he will be fired also :) Expect chaos! No strategy that lasts for 2 years. No plan that lasts for few months. Working employees are not appreciated. For example, you may work for 1 or 2 years in the company and then a stupid new manager can say about you that he is not sure about your performance, while that manager's performance is really bad and he is not even able to understand the technologies you are working on! The company is called Blockchains. But most of the management and business people do not understand what is the benefits of a blockchain and what is the benefits of decentralization. They may laugh if you say 'cryptocurrency' thinking they are clever while they are not able to understand such a thing because of their stupidity! Add to this that it seems that people who stay long are those who make trouble for others. So, they prepare the papers on who to blame when they fail later. Instead of prepare for success. If you resign from the company later. There is a very low possibility that they will try to stop you. This happens only if you are working on a demo that they want to show soon to the top management. The higher possibility is that they will encourage you to resign!

Pros

100% remote work and very talented teams to work with.

Cons

Every negative review here is accurate, ignore the sole 5-star one for obvious reasons. This company is run by a CEO/Founder and his inner circle of friends/ex-coworkers, none of whom seem to know how to manage or grow a business effectively. Despite being around for 8+ years, they've made no progress in deploying any product. The company has had so many great product ideas and an ambitious vision, only for the CEO to abruptly scrap everything, lay off entire departments, and decide to start over from scratch. Layoffs are an annual tradition here, each year another department, and in the last round the entire company, or just about, is gone. It’s a pattern that seems sustainable only because the CEO is personally wealthy. Adding to the dysfunction, the company's NDAs and non-compete clauses are laughable. They attempt to enforce non-competes, which are illegal in many states (and even punishable in some). It’s absurd considering there's no actual product to compete against. Even worse, they forbid employees from mentioning they were laid off—another violation of legal standards. Save yourself the headache and steer clear of this company. There are far better opportunities out there. No 401k matching No health insurance coverage for the first 3 months 10 days PTO (including sick time, bereavement, or jury duty) Minimum holidays paid No compensation for internet or career classes The benefits list is so short that they had to add "casual dress" as a benefit even though everyone was remote!
