Pros

Not much to be honest. Find somewhere else to work at

Cons

Overstate your income to inland revenue to pay less tax themselves. They double count my bonus, which required me to appeal to the IRD. Employees working in other crypto firms are not required to pay tax, while this one does. 6 working days a week with night shifts requirements Low Pay, other crypto firms are paying 2-3 times for the same talent/skill set Petty Bonus Structure. Copying optiver’s marble system but 5-10 times less than even during profitable years. Bonus cutoff in December but paid in April. Using hk tax year as excuse to pay four months less worth of bonus. Reward is not related to performance and effort spent. For example, some employee that slept during nightshift got promoted first. Since the boss likes to video review the sound captured security camera, no way he does not know about that. Micromanagement No Development Opportunity Non transparent about its strategy Petty Shift Structures No Lunch Hour disguised as lunch reimbursement inside office, have to work while eating. Effectively paying less as the $100 reimbursement is less than the hourly pay
