Pros

Attractive benefits are offered, competitive pay in the SG market. However, considering the substantial time commitment required for work, the overall value of the compensation package may be subject to individual evaluation. Tech tasks are challenging(this is subjective because not everyone is dealing with the important systems, some tasks are very easy though)

Cons

Completely no WLB: The day-to-day tasks often come with tight deadlines, and employees are frequently given ad-hoc tasks to complete. This results in a significant amount of time and energy being devoted to work, with little left for personal life. Only focusing on completion of tasks: The primary concern of managers seems to be the completion of tasks, rather than the methods employed or the challenges faced during the process. This can make it difficult for employees to receive the support they need. Gaslighting culture: The work atmosphere can sometimes be discouraging, with employees feeling as if they are constantly being criticized. This can lead to self-doubt and a decrease in overall confidence.

Pros

Fast paced, decent paid and medical insurance coverage, top 3 CEX, short processing time (from interview to offer), pantry snacks, mac laptop

Cons

Untrustworthy senior mgmt | Abnormally high turnover | non-compliant CEX 1) While professing care and attentiveness towards employees, the reality falls short. Not conducive for individuals with family responsibilities, especially those with children. 2)Emphasizing a customer-first approach, yet senior management imposes impractical product launch targets that heighten the risk of errors. 3) Assertions of securing licenses for multiple markets contrast starkly with the reality of withdrawn applications without disclosed reasons. Inconsistencies between public statements and all-hands meeting messages are apparent. 4) Unprecedented turnover within the back office, notably the HR department, at Bybit. Personnel turnover occurs frequently within a span of 3-6 months. 5) Permits registration of overseas Chinese nationals without internal staff notification, disregarding potential legal ramifications for employees situated in mainland China. 6) Staff suffered substantial financial losses while holding the exchange's token. During incidents on the exchange platform, senior management utilized their exchange tokens to cover customer compensation and losses. Essentially, for employees vested in these tokens, they bore the consequences.
