going downhill fast - Senior Software Engineer Kraken Employee Review

Hi there, Thanks for leaving us a review and sharing your perspective. It’s good to hear you recognise the stability that comes with Kraken’s growth; we’re proud to be scaling sustainably while continuing to offer meaningful work and flexibility. We know there’s always a balance to strike between rapid delivery and long-term technical excellence, and we don’t see those as mutually exclusive. We’re working hard to support deeper investment in our engineering practices while continuing to meet the needs of our clients - both are critical to our success. On progression, we’ve been developing clearer career pathways for technical roles through the engineer development framework, and many of our leads and managers have been through, or are currently on, our leadership development programme to support this. We also want people to feel they can speak openly, feedback and challenge are a vital part of how we grow. If you’ve experienced anything that made you feel otherwise, I’d really appreciate the opportunity to understand more. Thanks again, Olivia Roberts olivia.roberts@kraken.tech
