Pros

I really like working at Storj for a number of reasons. Working on distributed cloud storage makes for lots of interesting and challenging projects that make work fun. Management prioritizes our goals and professional development. There are very few meetings so I can spend my days actually getting work done. It's refreshing! There is no micromanagement, we are all trusted to get our work done the right way. I like all of my coworkers, there are lots of experienced and smart engineers and everyone is kind. Leadership is very ethical and honest. They genuinely care about all employees and about doing the right thing.

Cons

Recently there has been a strong push for everyone to accept 20% or more of our salary in cryptocurrency. Additionally we lost our 401k match (6%). I hope in the future we don't rely as heavily on cryptocurrency and that we can start the 401k match again.

Pros

As far as DEI specifically, Storj should be the model for other companies to emulate. - It wasn't just about the 'word' DEI, it was actually about a plan to help employees grow in the education, inclusion, and camaraderie that comes from a diverse workforce. - It was more than a webpage, but an integrated approach that enabled employees to understand and respect certain cultural and other differences that make the team as a whole way more interesting, unique and respectful of each other - I often see employers 'try' at DEI, but at Storj it was thoughtful and all inclusive. I have reached out to Katherine Johnson, Chief People and Legal Officer to be able to implement some of the great DEI practices at organizations beyond Storj. Absolute amazing resource!

Cons

- No real cons re: DEI specifically. Maybe a little more grace for those of us who haven't mastered pronoun best practices, quite yet but you know what? We need that to learn and respect one another. It was truly a well-rounded and educational program.
