Run away - Senior Software Engineer LimeChain Employee Review

As one of the early Web3 development companies, the organization benefited from a first-mover advantage and has built a solid portfolio of case studies. There are several highly skilled and technically proficient professionals within the company.

The work environment feel unprofessional at times, with blurred lines between personal and professional relationships. In my experience, this occasionally created the impression that growth opportunities and promotions were influenced more by personal dynamics than by performance. There seems to be gaps in management experience at the leadership level, which at times led to inconsistent decision-making and unclear direction. I often feel that communication toward both employees and clients lacks transparency, which could create confusion and reduce trust. At times, it appeared difficult for the company to attract or retain more experienced leadership that could help support its next stage of growth. The company culture feels somewhat inauthentic to me. There is an implicit expectation to identify with Web3 and the company's mission, and those who do not always share that level of enthusiasm could feel out of place.|

I can't recall any pros as I was let go less than 10 workings days after starting.

Onboarding is a joke - completely unstructured, you complete a short blockchain 101 course that consists of a couple of videos and web articles and then you sit and wait for something to happen without any clear direction. In my case what appeared was a Python AI project, which was a bit of a shock given I haven't written a single line of Python in my life and given I was hired as a NodeJS dev with a clear desire to learn Rust. The cherry on top was when less than a month into the job and basically around 10 workings days after my start I was called into a meeting that was supposedly about discussing the above-mentioned project. There I met two people who I hadn't met at all before who told me that I was being let go. Apparently, more than 20 people were laid off, some of them who had been in the firm less than 2 days. The reason quoted was that clients were leaving and there weren't any new projects. I guess wasting 2 months of my time, having quit my previous job whilst taking care of a year old baby and renovating a new apartment weren't really on their list of priorities when they laid me off. An absolute disgrace of a firm built upon a dying and out-of-hype technology. It's clear that the firm is going down the toilet but at least have the decency to NOT hire people when you expect to let them go in less than a month. I will actively be steering people away from this company.
