Great compensation, decent benefits, if crypto is your lifestyle you can’t go wrong Cool company overall.
- you get far better benefits elsewhere (getting paid in crypto isn’t valuable when I can buy on the regular market), 401k match and better health insurance is better. -management can’t decide the direction. Either too many initiatives or none. -promotion path is very hazy. - stock compensation as part of overall comp is poor, but stock price is also very depressed. -bonus and raises aren’t great; not valued for hard work. - filter says crypto, but they’re really just a traditional finance institution with new tech. -felt like I wasn’t busy, which is great but not when you’re ambitious.
