Pros

* Remote work * Salary is paid on time * Before 3-4 rounds of big secret terminations, lots of talented people * Company invests in big expensive marketing

Cons

* Huge management red flags. There is lots of negative public news about management even before starting Crypto.com. Some leaders are incompetent, but seemed to be promoted because they joined early or just follow orders from management without asking question. Lots of common complaints like delegating work, micromanagement, high turnover, panicking style, promoting friends, secret decision making, being incompetent but taking all credits. Be aware - do not join the HR, Trading or Legal teams. * Many red flags. Finances badly managed. No internal structure. Excessive over hiring, then thousands of secret layoffs because no proper planning. Management lied about numbers. Lots of money for marketing and it's not clear where the money comes from. No leadership transparency. Staff are promised shares and CROs - read the letters very carefully - not even HR could explain to me how the employee share scheme works. * Many talented people terminated or resigned in last 6 months. Turnover in some teams very high. Many remaining are waiting to leave. No people culture. Morale is very low and worry is it will be next FTX. Constant bad media news such as security breaches, management past, sending money to wrong people, cancelled deals, cancelled auditor and banned commercial adverts. Management is focused on increasing revenue but have no idea how to build company infrastructure or manage finances. Very suspicious behaviour, like secretly moving to Japan to live. Card benefits gone. There is no trust in the company. Many colleagues even withdraw their crypto to cold wallet in case the company collapse. The company is rolling downhill fast. Do not join.

Pros

Work From Home Decent Salary

Cons

In a compliance role, leadership should be willing to listen when analysts/associates raise concerns about regulatory risk, process weaknesses, or policy gaps. In my experience, that was not the culture here. Too often, valid concerns were dismissed instead of taken seriously, even when they involved issues that could affect the firm from a compliance and control perspective. What made the experience especially frustrating was the leadership style within parts of compliance. Rather than encouraging open dialogue, managers came across as defensive, dismissive, and more focused on protecting their own authority than addressing the substance of the issue and creating a toxic environment where raising concerns did not feel safe or productive. Instead of approaching issues in a professional and solution-oriented way, interactions could become personal, degrading, and hostile. This became even more concerning when the NAM compliance department later failed several items in an internal audit, including areas that had already been flagged by analysts as process or policy gaps. That, to me, reflected a broader problem: important concerns were being raised internally, but not handled with the seriousness or humility they required. There was also very little transparency or accountability when it came to employee development, feedback, or career progression. Communication with subordinates was poor, and employees were not given meaningful support or clarity around growth opportunities. HR was equally disappointing. From my perspective, there did not appear to be a reliable or well-structured path for employees to raise concerns and expect a fair resolution. Overall, my experience was that parts of the compliance culture operated more like an insular power structure than a healthy control function. For a company in a heavily regulated space, that is a serious leadership and culture problem.
