Excellent Culture and Great Management - Anonymous employee GitKraken Employee Review

Lots of autonomy. Great people to work with. I've only been here a year, but we have teammates who have been here for a decade which I think is incredibly encouraging. Everybody's opinions and concerns are considered when it comes to planning and the direction of the products.

Very startup-like with occasionally shifting goals. I don't think it's a negative thing, but some could consider it as such.

Some talented and genuinely kind coworkers (though they don’t stay long) Occasional flexibility in schedule, depending on your manager.

Toxic environment: Longtime employees have mastered the art of blaming newcomers to avoid accountability. High turnover: Many senior and high-performing employees have left recently, a definite red flag. False sense of autonomy: Despite what you’ll read elsewhere, there’s very little independence. Expect strict micromanagement and constant monitoring of your online status. Remote work under pressure: The company is clearly moving away from remote-friendly policies, forcing remote workers into rigid Arizona-based schedules regardless of time zone. Low pay disguised as competitive: Compensation lags behind industry averages, but leadership insists otherwise. Unstable products: The core product is outdated, and newer initiatives feel half-baked. There’s a lot of “positive spin” from executives, but it doesn’t match reality. Lengthy hiring process: It looks thorough but should be viewed as an early sign of internal disorganization and micromanagement from the top down.
