Business Outlook

Pros

-One of the few areas where Kraken is actually making a green dent -Decent DevEx, uses modern programming languages and tooling -People are nice and helpful -Low on bureaucracy, get sh*t done culture -decent WLB -regular engineers have it quite good

Cons

-Senior leadership not great at scaling teams & processes -Internally promoted leadership on management track are really unqualified. I've seen many promotions over the years and one can go from mid level to senior, then within half a year go to team lead without demonstrable results, and within another year become head of engineering again without having demonstrable results. Externally hired people are much better, whereas internally promoted leadership are a joke. -Product vision lacking, and is mainly reactive. Quite surprising we were able to make it this far -Kraken says they're making a big green dent but most of what they do is simply CRM
