Pros

Healthy Culture: The team atmosphere is excellent and well-managed, with a refreshing absence of office politics. Communication is direct and focused on results. Commitment to Learning: Bybit truly invests in its people. Each employee receives a yearly learning fund, and there are frequent internal training sessions and expert workshops at both the company and department levels. Clear Career Growth: The promotion path is transparent and merit-based. The company maintains a consistent annual salary adjustment policy, ensuring that your rewards grow alongside your skills. Top-tier Stability: In an industry known for volatility, Bybit stands out for its exceptional stability. Leadership has a long-term vision—there are no periodic or mass layoffs, providing a strong sense of security that is rare in the crypto and tech space.

Cons

Fast-Paced Environment: The work rhythm is quite intense. Given the lightning-fast evolution of Blockchain, AI, and the broader Internet sector, the pace of delivery and innovation is very demanding. While this is understandable and even necessary to remain a global leader, it requires a high degree of adaptability and strong time-management skills.

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the risk of errors. 3) Assertions of securing licenses for multiple markets contrast starkly with the reality of withdrawn applications without disclosed reasons.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.
