Kraken Employee Value Proposition

Kraken is not just a company, it is a culture.

We’re building a bridge from broken legacy systems to a future rooted in crypto. We know that to get there, traditional work structures must evolve as well.

To celebrate our 13th anniversary, we’ve created an Employee Value Proposition (EVP) that provides candidates with a blueprint for how Kraken’s mission, culture, and values ​​have made us the 14th most loved employer in the world.

What is EVP?

An EVP is a statement of organizational characteristics that define what you can expect from an employer, i.e. the day-to-day work experience. It takes a holistic view of the workplace and often includes sections on culture, career development, and employee benefits.

An EVP helps candidates understand what drives us. In general, it’s the things that drive potential employees who are a solid fit as Kraken employees (aka Krakenites). An EVP inspires commitment, helps us attract the most qualified talent from around the world, and describes the Krakenite experience.

Mission above all else

Everything we do at Kraken is driven by our mission. We strive to clearly articulate our culture and attract the right candidates.

We believe in universal access to a workplace where Krakenite can invest in itself and grow as a professional. As we strive to serve as a bridge from traditional finance to crypto in a larger sense, we also provide support, tools, and education to help people from all industries make the transition to working in crypto.

But it all starts with a mission. And because our mission is so important to Kraken, if you share a passion for helping people achieve financial freedom, there’s a good chance Kraken is the place for you.
