After going through six interviews with MoonPay, my overall experience was disappointing. Up to that point, the process had been demanding but engaging, which I could understand given the industry and the seniority of the role. However, in the final interview, something was made very clear that hadn’t been communicated before: the company expects long working hours on a regular basis and only hires “A players,” meaning people who are willing to prioritize work above everything else. This kind of corporate culture is not compatible with a healthy work-life balance. While it’s legitimate to strive for excellence, using that as a reason to normalize constant overwork and exclude those who aren’t willing to operate at that pace reflects a very narrow view of talent. I would not recommend MoonPay to those who value a sustainable or inclusive work environment that respects different lifestyles and productivity rhythms.
