Collaborative culture - Great cross-functional teamwork and seamless coordination across engineering, product, and business teams. Learning opportunities - Perfect blend of traditional payment systems (VISA, PCI compliance) and blockchain technology expertise. Market exposure - Valuable international experience across Singapore and Indonesia markets.

Cons

Fast-paced environment - Can be demanding with multiple concurrent projects, but excellent for professional growth.

Pros

- collaborative environment - good work life balance - competent talent held back by poor direction - giving it 3 stars just for the above

Cons

- take good reviews with a pinch of salt. HR's KPI is Glassdoor reviews. Employees are asked to drop reviews regularly - lots of self-praise with no tangible results - can't deliver despite all the stablecoin hype and being around for a long time. Newly established competitors are flourishing - Management lacks strategy and business coherence - turnover is high for competent folks who can see through the business quickly

Pros

Genuine focus on growth: Unlike places that just talk about "upskilling" in brochures, the environment here actually backs it up. There is a very real push to help you grow both as a professional and as an individual. If you’re looking to stretch your capabilities, the support is there. Welfare isn't an afterthought: It’s rare in the fintech/Web3 world to find a company that actually advocates for employee wellbeing, but StraitsX does. The culture feels sustainable rather than just a "burnout" shop. Open and collaborative layout: The office is designed for discussion. Because it’s an open concept, you aren’t siloed off. It makes it incredibly easy to chat with leadership or hop into a brainstorm with other teams without the usual corporate red tape. Exciting pace: It’s fast, but for a good reason. Because the Web3 requirements and the regulatory landscape are always shifting, the company evolves quickly. It keeps the work interesting and ensures you’re always at the literal forefront of digital finance.

Cons

Definitely not a place where you can just coast through by being just enough. Because the Web3 space moves so fast and the company is constantly evolving, you have to be comfortable with change. If you prefer a highly predictable 9-to-5 where nothing ever changes, you might find the pace a bit intense.
