Pros

- Decent pay, but it comes with 2x - 3x workload comparing to other companies

Cons

- Chinese management style, 996 working hours expected, could call you at midnight/on Sundays, no compensation for OT except dinner - A follower in the industry, unclear vision, wants to be 'the best no2 exchange', product ideas are mostly from Binance's existing features, no innovation - Management has no idea what they are doing, constant restructuring to become 'international', people switch teams every 2-3 months, but most employees are still from China - Chinese employees are preferred, want employees to communicate in English but will revert to Chinese once Chinese employees do not know how to express in English - Most documentations are in Chinese or poor English - Very messy internal system and bureaucracy, may need to approach multiple stakeholders from different teams to get a single issue solved - No guidance from seniors, expected to complete everything on your own without errors - A 'blaming' culture, when there is something wrong management will find someone to blame instead of fixing the underlying system - Every department is under-resourced but expected to provide quality work under tight deadlines, failing to do so will be labelled as 'underperforming'

Cons

- The company experienced hiring followed by layoffs, which raised concerns about workforce planning. - No severance package, career transition assistance, or visa support was provided following the layoff, which negatively impacted the perception of the company's employee culture. - There was a tendency to assign blame rather than focus on collaborative problem-solving.
