Pros

FalconX runs at crypto‑market speed—roadmaps shift weekly, ideas ship fast, and engineers are expected to think like founders. If you love designing, coding, and iterating without layers of approval —this is the shop. also good benefits, 401k matching, free lunches, great snack selection, and great people.

Cons

24/7 markets + rapid regulatory change means priorities can pivot in a week; if you need rock‑solid roadmaps months out, this will feel chaotic.The culture prizes ownership, so boundaries are largely self‑set—great for autonomy, but it’s easy to over‑extend if you’re not disciplined

Pros

* Good Pay * Work life is ok ok * Perks are good * Leaves are good in numbers * You get gifts on occasions

Cons

* Biggest cons - No appreciation and No motivation at all for the work you do! * No proper management tree * No proper training given * No personal growth * Lack of communication between the teams * No career path defined even if you ask a number of times they will give you the same answer which does not answer your question. * They don't have a proper training mechanism to train you. You have to do and learn things by yourself. * This company is still a start-up so think before you join don't fall for high-range pay.
