Pros

Flexible working arrangement Good hardware for work - MBP 16inch Friendly colleagues CeFI that does proper risk management

Cons

-CTO nerd rage without the full picture and call out employees in public slack channels -CTO doesn't care about his team members opinions (his way or the highway type) -CTO is highly skilled in blockchain development but failed badly in architecting cake platform systems. Yet he raged when the system is not functional due to technical debt -CTO doesn't take responsibility on fixing technical debt -CTO is bias towards blockchain (birthday research) department in resource allocation Toxic engineering culture -All about quick wins, would not want to invest resources in fixing their technical debt -Crazy amount of technical debt -Gaslighting -Fail to retain tech lead which lead to lost of context knowledge -Overtime is common -Initiative and contribution is not rewarded -There are risk of trying to make an impact or lack of room to make an impact. Leads to dev adopting coasters mindset and chase quick wins to be on the good books of the CTO

Pros

The salary WAS the only good thing about this company.

Cons

This company is another scam. The CEO is a tyrant who wants to control every employee. They recently got from unlimited leaves to 20 days leave. They make people doing OT all the time and scare them by threatening to fire them. They also made remote work almost impossible (just impossible outside Singapore). They don’t care about the community. They are releasing a feature (EVM support) just to make the community forget about the horrible path of DUSD (their stable coin that equivalent to 0.16 USD). They are scamming existing customers by changing the existing plan to remove benefits and hope that the community doesn’t notice it. They are also managing most of the masternodes of the chain which is a joke for a company that claim that they are fully for decentralised finance. There is a possibility for the community to vote for proposition concerning the future of the chain (on chain governance). For every decision if they agree or disagree with that they can manually change the outcome of the vote since they control most of the master node. A company that manage a blockchain cannot build a product on top of it. It will be always in favour of the company and not in favour of the community. If you have money in that please leave.

Pros

People are friendly and easy to get along with. Location is nice.

Cons

Company brags about transparency as a core value but don't practice it at all. Trustpilot scores, ratings, everything is manipulated. Very political culture. Co-founders are at heads with each other. C-Suites are yes-mans. The layoff rumours started a month ago but nothing was clamped down. Tyrant CEO believes he's the next Elon Musk. Lack of overall strategy. Build without seeing any metrics or feedback. I
