Pros
Beautiful office building. Decent benefits. Good perks. Some lovely people. Admirable mission statement … if they actually believed it.
Cons
This company had the market cornered on crypto ATMs and was expanding rapidly into new regions. Dreams were being had and revenue was growing like gangbusters. The young co-founders did the right thing and hired experienced leadership for tech, operations, legal, marketing. The next logical and strategic step would have been to partner with a proven and simple digital wallet that would integrate with these ATMs. Instead, arrogance and hubris on the part of the tech leads and founders drove the company to build a “next-generation financial services platform powered by cryptocurrency.” Unfortunately, the reality was a buggy app with a tiny selection of coins that DOESN’T integrate with the company’s ATMs (yet?) and which cost millions to launch. Enter the hatchetmen to blame the failure on worker bees and laugh them out of the building. At least half of the company has been dismissed, but no one calls them layoffs, and morale and culture is at an all-time low. It’s a tale as old as time. A startup grows too fast, gets too excited, and loses itself (and big bucks) along the way. Only the sychophants prevail. Oh, and their supposed mission to bring crypto to the marginalized and underbanked? Last I heard they wanted to focus more on the politically conservative types, who only "like" crypto because it owns the libs. Smart target-audience research.
