Avantages

The only pro I experienced was building a couple of professional relationships with people who were there to do their work.

Inconvénients

Management and team leaders enforce and/or encourage poor business practices, and suffer from lack of people management skills. You will have no job security, because even making a comment that offends egos can get you thrown into the next round of layoffs. Although I personally was not laid off, I watched it happen to countless colleagues, including high performers. As a well-documented phenomenon: women and minorities are vastly disproportionally impacted. Surveys, meetings, and reports are generated often and shopped around to employees to create the illusion of effort to improve workplace culture and morale, but beneath that, back-dooring runs rampant to neutralize any descent from the modus operandi. Working at Fireblocks, for the most part, felt like living in the novel 1984, because nothing ever made sense. The only way I personally survived at this company was by concluding that leadership operates in a matter which deliberately makes people miserable, stunts their careers, and causes high turnover. Once you do that, you can calculate each and every step that will cause you to not get fired until you are able to find a better opportunity.

Avantages

Some genuinely sharp colleagues and the product itself is strong. If you're early in your crypto/fintech career the brand name opens doors after you leave.

Inconvénients

I joined as a BDR with an MBA and real ambitions to grow in sales. What I found was a culture that had little interest in developing people, especially if you were not already part of the informal network. My first manager was let go after four months following a documented incident where she misrepresented my work performance, claiming meetings I had evidence of holding never happened. After she left, the team operated without a manager for nearly seven months. No coaching, no direction, no development. You were on your own. When I asked to attend industry conferences to build pipeline, requests were consistently denied. After a year and a half in the role I had never attended a single event, while other reps on the team went regularly. The pattern was clear: certain people got the visibility opportunities. I was expected to do the cold call volume. The most concrete example: I hit multiple SPIFF-eligible accounts in a single month, target list accounts with confirmed meetings. The SPIFF was paid out to the rest of the sales team. Not to me. I escalated directly to the head of sales. I was told it would be reviewed. Nothing was ever resolved. If you come from outside the dominant cultural group on the sales floor, be aware: this is a tight-knit team and the informal support network is real. If you are not part of it, you will feel it.
