Pluspunten

The only pro I experienced was building a couple of professional relationships with people who were there to do their work.

Minpunten

Management and team leaders enforce and/or encourage poor business practices, and suffer from lack of people management skills. You will have no job security, because even making a comment that offends egos can get you thrown into the next round of layoffs. Although I personally was not laid off, I watched it happen to countless colleagues, including high performers. As a well-documented phenomenon: women and minorities are vastly disproportionally impacted. Surveys, meetings, and reports are generated often and shopped around to employees to create the illusion of effort to improve workplace culture and morale, but beneath that, back-dooring runs rampant to neutralize any descent from the modus operandi. Working at Fireblocks, for the most part, felt like living in the novel 1984, because nothing ever made sense. The only way I personally survived at this company was by concluding that leadership operates in a matter which deliberately makes people miserable, stunts their careers, and causes high turnover. Once you do that, you can calculate each and every step that will cause you to not get fired until you are able to find a better opportunity.

Pluspunten

As a Solution Architect at Fireblocks, I’ve had the privilege of working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and real-world enterprise needs in the digital asset space. From day one, it was clear that this company is built on a foundation of innovation, security, and an unwavering commitment to solving complex challenges for our customers. One of the most rewarding aspects of my role has been collaborating with clients ranging from traditional financial institutions to fast-growing Web3 startups. Fireblocks’ platform is robust, scalable, and constantly evolving—with tools like our MPC-based custody and automated policy engine enabling us to deliver secure, flexible solutions that meet each client’s unique needs. The engineering culture here is top-notch—forward-thinking, agile, and deeply technical. What I appreciate most is that architecture isn’t an afterthought at Fireblocks. The company values long-term thinking and scalable design, and as a Solution Architect, I’ve had the autonomy to design solutions that are not only technically sound but also aligned with our customers’ strategic goals. Cross-functional collaboration is excellent too. Product, engineering, sales, and customer success all work together seamlessly, which makes it easy to bring value to clients and stay ahead of the market. Leadership is accessible, transparent, and genuinely supportive of professional growth and innovation. If you’re a technologist who thrives on solving real-world problems with real impact—and you want to work on infrastructure that’s shaping the future of finance—Fireblocks is the place to be.
