Pros

Absolutely exciting work experience, if you're into drama! On any given day, you might watch a colleague’s account suddenly get deactivated with no explanation, or witness someone lose their temper and start yelling mid-conference call. Leadership from mainland China often struggles with English, and instead of improving, they eventually just ask everyone to turn on subtitle translation and switch the entire meeting to Chinese and subtitle translation can be funny.

Cons

This company is the perfect example of a deeply bureaucratic Chinese work culture, riddled with favoritism and politics. The average tenure here is around 7 months — and that’s telling. People are regularly placed on PIPs or fired not because of performance, but purely based on the manager’s personal preferences. Whether you survive here often depends on how well you manage up and how much you're willing to be a “yes person.” You might see a few young people doing well — those who play the game, know how to please the right people, or happen to be favored. But ask yourself: can you be one of them? Or are you like the 99% who get treated like trash and fired without any compensation? People disappear suddenly — one day they’re in meetings, the next they’re gone and their account is grayed out. And every time when someone leaves, the first question whispered around is always: “Did they resign, or were they forced out?” That should give you a clear hint about the toxic culture. Professionalism doesn’t exist here. I worked in a team of 20 product managers — not a single one had any background in product. They all came from operations or business background, which makes sense once you realize the truth: this company doesn’t actually need product. And to be fair, that seems to be a general truth across many crypto companies. But most insidiously, being in a Chinese culture–driven environment like this slowly trains you to erase your own identity. Many Chinese colleagues call meme coins “me me coins” — and honestly, that’s just a small symbol of the bigger issue. Are you going to conform? Or will you hold onto your values and pronounce memes properly? This place is only for those willing to lose themselves and suck up endlessly. If you have an independent personality, integrity, or expect basic respect — do not come.
