Pros

Okcoin was independently owned by a Chinese Crypto firm that operated an unregulated exchange. Before the end of the pandemic, the firm was managed by executives based in US and it was a good place to work. The company offered a closed-knit and diverse workplace culture. Everyone is passionate about the field and collaborates well together. HR organized regular in-person socials that brought everyone together. The in-home wellness kits were thoughtful and caring.

Cons

Post-pandemic, the Chinese executives got involved in the day-to-day operations. The workplace culture changed drastically -- there was a cultural crash between East and West; many of the non-Chinese staff were mass laid off. There was also an expectation of 12 hours work day.

Cons

- The company experienced hiring followed by layoffs, which raised concerns about workforce planning. - No severance package, career transition assistance, or visa support was provided following the layoff, which negatively impacted the perception of the company's employee culture. - There was a tendency to assign blame rather than focus on collaborative problem-solving.
