- Having worked at multiple startups, this one felt quite needlessly and overly chaotic most of the time relative to similar companies...but some people like that kind of setup
- Leadership made decisions in a closed shop and there was so much backtracking and scrapping of plans / strategy because it hadn't been diligenced properly in the first place. Felt like company was falling behind competitors and struggling with the strategy on how to compete
- Many in the senior management team had no prior experience in the crypto industry and how things work there which was not helpful to the above (also similar can be said about the non-crypto VC investors who backed the company and perhaps put a lot of pressure on the management team to work to more traditional tech business targets)
- Work lifespan of employees in some teams was very short and some felt expendable (eg almost the whole Commercial team turned over in the space of less than a year), and there were several unexpected cuts in the past which impacted on morale within the team significantly
- Below industry level pay in the web3 space
- Push for in-office work culture that might not work for everyone
