You have timezones, hundreds of thousands of customers (if not millions). Kraken has one of the best support I encountered. But with less people buying/selling (as with Amazon: Less buying stuff, less using etc), companies are laying off Marketing, Customer Support, maybe Recruiters and HR. Maybe stopped side projects. I would not expect they shrink their engineering by much.

30% of Eng was cut. Multiple engineers on my team were cut. The QA team was basically wiped out. As far as I can tell, all the lawyers are still here.
