Pros

- Cool technology stack and possibilities within the crypto space - The brand has a good image in the public's eye - Some really awesome global colleagues who haven't bought into the 9-6-6 toxicity - Pay is typically good for most technical roles

Cons

- EXTREME politics take place here. Seriously. If you are an American/not of Chinese-descent or are not a Mandarin-speaking person, you will be looked down upon and not offered opportunities. This is definitely not a friendly environment for American workers. OKX implements the Chinese 9-9-6 culture and disregards anyone with any sense of work life balance as lazy. - Everything, and I mean everything, takes TONS of red tape to shift through. Their internal approval processes are awful. - Changed a lot of their benefits to be less favorable to employees because the top-down management style at OKX doesn't work with flexibility
