Pros

Really lovely colleagues all across the company

Cons

Pay is lower than in most other tech companies while the workload is sometimes overwhelming. And all your hard work will usually be taken by your manager and they get all the credit.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and share your perspective. It’s great to hear you’ve found your colleagues at Kraken to be lovely and supportive! The people here really are what make the company special. We’re sorry to hear you’ve felt the workload has been overwhelming at times and that your contributions haven’t always been recognised. We know how important it is for people to feel valued for the work they do, and we’re continuing to focus on improving how we celebrate individual and team achievements across the business. On pay, we aim to offer a balanced and fair package that reflects both our values and long-term sustainability. We regularly review our approach to ensure it remains competitive while supporting our ability to invest in people, growth, and innovation. We also know that workload and recognition are closely linked to how we develop our managers and shape our culture. We’re continuing to strengthen this through clearer guidance, leadership development, and better visibility of impact and outcomes. If you’d be open to sharing more about your experience, I’d really welcome the opportunity to hear from you directly. Alternatively, we have Your Voice in Hibob as another avenue for you to raise any concerns you may have. Thanks again, Olivia Roberts olivia.roberts@kraken.tech
