The NYC office is awesome. People outside the Sales team seem very, very nice. Lunch is paid for everyday in the office. I was able to work remote as much as I wanted, though I did feel pressure to come into the office and the COO and CEO sent out a company-wide email urging staff to come back into the office. I think the company is positioned nicely to do well in the future. I think their stock would be good to have (you will get equity in the company), as they plan to go public eventually and I believe that stock will go up. The company is currently well funded, though I think they are over-hiring and their valuation may be too big this early on.

Minpunten

Unfortunately, Chainalysis follows the old stereotype for sales teams of being negative, cutthroat, and overly competitive. Anyone who has been on a really successful sales team knows that that's not how to succeed. The sales team was grossly negative, overly competitive, and to put it plainly, not nice. This rings true for the SDRs to the Commercial reps to the Enterprise reps to the managers, director, and CRO. It's the whole Sales org. Leadership also knows nothing about crypto or web3, which doesn't make sense as it claims to be a web3 company (it's not, it's 100% a traditional web2 company that sells SaaS for companies involved in crypto/web3). The company as a whole has a weird love for the police and the military. I understand that that part of the public sector does the most business for the company, but it's as if Chainalysis believes there is nothing wrong with police in the US or the US military. You must know this going in because if this doesn't align with your values, it will bother you a lot. The company huddle in DC was a disgusting display of toxic masculinity, drunkedness, and sexual harassment. I've seen other examples of sexual harassment on the sales team. The sales team is by far mostly white straight men. Hardly any diversity at all. I saw the CSO show off his "challenger coins" that he got from Chainalysis's military and police clients to the entire company on a company-wide call, as if he was completely unaware that US police and the US military have ever done anything wrong. This is the kind of company you will be joining. Many employees also seem to be unaware that there is anything wrong with Chainalysis, which makes it feel like a weird cult or that you're working with robots. Lastly, there's not enough business for Enterprise reps yet. I would really think twice about joining the company as an Enterprise rep as it's still early for crypto on the enterprise level and you may not sell much/make a lot of commission.

Chainalysis offers the rare combination of talented people, supportive leadership and meaningful work. The culture is collaborative and results oriented. There is a high level of trust and autonomy, teams can take ownership and make a real impact. There is a lot of opportunity in the market and the sales team is exceeding quotas. The team gets exposure to complex and interesting challenges because of our position in the market.

Minpunten

Fast paced environment, requires flexibility and adaptability
