Pros

I joined Kraken a few weeks ago and so far it has been a very nice company to work for. The journey from recruitment to onboarding has been smooth and well-organized. The ELT's strong focus on culture clearly trickles down, creating an environment where you are free to work effectively. I hope it remains that way

Cons

No cons to report so far.
