Pros

Great benfits, notably 'unlimited' annual leave (within reason), flexible remote/hyrbid/work abroad options, great range of modern offices across the globe, automatic minimum pay review in line with inflation done annually, fizzy water office taps. Great culture and work life balance, both in smaller teams and company as a whole, although as always there is some variance depending on what team you end up in. A company actually making a difference to a global issue while also encouraging and supporting D&I as well as employees who live with disabilities.

Cons

Rapid growth from start up to industry leader has left some teams getting sidelined and made it hard to understand career progression. Upper management have begun implementing plans to address this earlier in 2024, so hopefully this improves. As a UK market leader, pay could be more inline with similar sized/performing tech companies, but isn't terrible.

Hi there, Thanks for leaving us a review! I can see here that you are a previous employee, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we hope you are doing well! Its really great to hear you enjoyed working at Kraken, especially the culture and worklife balance, as this is super important. D&I is something that is really important to us - we recently launched our D&I capability team so if you have any feedback on this please contact me directly. Career progression is crucial and something that we are working on clearly defining, closely with the senior leadership team - again we recently launched our capability teams so people performance, leadership development or training so any feedback or suggestions you have from your time with us, we would love to hear. If you would like to talk any further about any feedback, my contact details are below. Thank you, Olivia Roberts olivia.roberts@kraken.tech
