Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. It's great to hear that you've experienced the supportive culture and no-blame mindset that we work hard to build at Kraken. Creating an environment where people feel trusted, supported and empowered to learn is incredibly important to us. We're also aware that there’s always room to improve. We're growing rapidly to meet increasing demand from our customers, and with that growth comes change, complexity and, at times, growing pains. While that can occasionally feel chaotic, we're committed to learning, adapting and improving as we scale. Developing exceptional leaders is also a key focus for us. We're investing in this through initiatives like our Leadership Development Programme (LDP), which helps managers build the skills, confidence and self-awareness needed to support their teams. As a business, we're learning together and continuously evolving how we lead, communicate and collaborate. If you'd like to discuss your experience in more detail, please feel free to reach out directly, share feedback through Officevibe, or use Your Voice in HiBob. Thanks again for your review and for helping us get better. Best, Susanna

Pros

Lots of autonomy, good amount of freedom in terms of how to tackle solving problems, good sponsorship of technical learning and conferences, has a bunch of smart people to work with, work with folks from all over the world

Cons

Teams and SMT in the UK will make decisions with little transparency or visibility. Working from non Europe timezone means you will miss out on important because London very much is still figuring out how to actually work async remotely. Weird pressure to use AI in development in tooling and theres a weird toxic AI optimism where opposing view points are not welcome. Kinda feels opposite of a big green dent right? Delivery pressure in certain teams is real. Slack information overload on the regular. Your experience at Kraken will depend on your manager.

Pros

Lots of interesting problems, working with a lot of smart people, autonomy and trust

Cons

Gender diversity a bit meh, promotion process opaque (especially for people that are not neurotypical men), new CEO is a bit too businessy for the tech culture that was built up
