Rising Industry, Enduring Values

Patrick Stephen is used to working with engineers of varying expertise and backgrounds. But Chainalysis was the first place where he’s seen a company make optimal use out of such heterogeneity. “It’s important to understand the specific impact that each individual can have and utilize their skills accordingly,” he said. The ability to draw out individual potential stems from its remote work policy, allowing employees to thrive where they work best. Though it’s not without its challenges, the company is committed to the hybrid model — with employee well-being and engagement in mind.

Jaclyn Mack wasn’t interested in working for a Web3 company at first. But after speaking with founders Jonathan Levin and Michael Gronager, she was all in. Moved by the care they had for their employees, she wanted to help strengthen that culture of intentionality. Early on, Mack helped define what she described as “the backbone upon which employees make decisions.” Whether it’s personal accountability or being open to other opinions, everyone at Chainalysis tries to “earn the right” — reiterating these founding principles even when scaling, and referencing them in every new project.
