Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It’s great to hear you see the ambition and potential at Kraken, and that you’ve found the flexibility and benefits valuable; those are core to how we work and something we’re proud to offer. As we continue to grow at pace and expand into new markets, we know things can feel fast-moving - but we’re focused on scaling in a way that stays true to the culture that got us here. I’d be really interested in hearing more about your experience with internal recruitment and policies, and what you'd like to see done differently - please don’t hesitate to reach out directly. Thanks again, Olivia Roberts

Pros

- Good opportunities to move around teams - Nice people to work with - Hiring and training junior/interns

Cons

- Pay is below market level, particularly when compared to companies of a similar size. - Salary and promotion discussions are awkward and sometimes discouraged. - Work can be chaotic, with often unclear roadmaps. There have been multiple cases where the scope of a project has changed just as we were about to deliver. - The lack of an HR function means all HR-related problems are handled by your manager/tech leads. Meaning tech leads often have to wear many hats which is generally unsustainable.
