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.
