Collaborative culture, great flexibility and a social team

Business Outlook

Pros

The team is easily the best part... everyone is approachable, highly intelligent, and genuinely friendly. Leadership are transparent, they are receptive to feedback and keep everyone in the loop. The work-life balance is also great... we have the autonomy to manage our time, and the flexibility is a huge bonus! Kraken is obsessed with improvement. There’s always a new tool, system, or training session being rolled out to help us work smarter and to grow personally. The team events are genuinely fun and help build a strong sense of community.

Cons

Global teams make collaboration over time zones a little tricky in some areas

Pros

Fast-growing with lots of opportunities, caring/ capable colleagues and an empowered remote/ distributed work culture. A great chance to have fun working on a product that matters.

Cons

To succeed you need to be strongly self-directed and comfortable navigating what can feel at times like organised chaos. Salary is fair but deliberately not top-of-market - this is a mission driven firm.

Great place to work

Business Outlook

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.
