Pros

Company made lots of money from crypto. Competitive equity packages have finally been granted to senior VPs & SVPs (but not to everyone else) Fun company retreats and office parties before covid

Cons

Everyone expects further layoffs in 2023 Recently HR projects, processes & systems have done more harm than good People are burning out as the company continues to evolve into a corporate that's run without empathy from the US. Good people are leaving faster than they're joining. A few years ago I would encourage friends to join CKO. Unfortunately this is no longer the case.

Thank you for your feedback. It’s truly helpful. As you know, our global employee base has scaled significantly since the start of the pandemic, so it’s been important to evolve our practices, processes and systems to meet the growing needs of our people and our business. Our intention isn’t to complicate things or make things feel bureaucratic, and we don’t always get things right. Your feedback helps us learn and get better. Regarding your comment around equity packages: 90% of our employees hold equity now. We implemented this equity program in 2022, where in all employees are eligible to receive equity. We want and need our leaders (and all employees!) spending more time in-person with their teams and on the ground in our largest hubs. To that end, we have curtailed our remote hiring practices across the board and have asked our leaders to be in the office and/or consistently traveling to where the majority of their teams are.

Pros

Good salary, thats about it

Cons

Toxic work culture, they want you to work from 6 am to 9pm. If you do not speak french or are not french you will feel like an outsider. Favoritism is big here, manager have their favorites and will feed them inbounds. Very hard to get approval to go to conferences, and there is no ROI, longer reps hold on to bigger name merchants for years even though they are not having any impact, and no one does anything about it.
