Pros

Good salary and benefits. Office location (MBFC) in Singapore.

Cons

- Top down culture, very Chinese (If you don’t speak / understand Chinese don’t join, regardless of what HR or management says about moving to English, it doesn’t happen overnight. You won’t get good projects / will struggle as all documents and meetings are usually carried out in Chinese. Lark translation is insufficient) - Bell curve grading is used here, opaque performance review and promotion schemes - Team structures are unclear, not being able to find out who works on which vertical/ area - Very unprofessional and inexperienced management (c suite, mid level managers and HR) - Restructuring occurs very often resulting in layoffs due to bad planning Read Okcoin’s reviews as well for a better understanding of the situation in Okx sister company - very telling of the entire management. Think twice before joining, don’t get fooled by the fancy endorsements.

Pros

In general, you have above market compensation and benefits

Cons

The HR won't be able to tell which talents are worth pursuing. Keeping this up to save face will be the downfall of not being able to recruit genuine 10x engineers by way of meritocracy. The HR needs to drop the ego.

Pros

To be fair, they have good compensation and benefit. Good office, good location. HR team are very good (but they don’t have any power)

Cons

The company don’t have a clue on how to build a stable structure: -Every three to four months, they restructure the company, lots of ppl got laid off (lots of them were still in probation) -If u hate PRC working culture then need to run away -Toxic PRC office policy -Immature PRC management -I suspect the only reason why they hire local is just to get more EP quotas.
