The truth about Huobi Global - beware fake reviews below

Pros

I guess the management has finally realised their reputation actually matters, judging by the fake reviews that have been popping up

Cons

- Management has enlisted several employees with the task of writing fake reviews. Look at the writing style of the reviews dated 20 & 19 March - they are clearly written by the same person. If you were to look at the reviews on Huobi's US arm HBUS on Glassdoor, you'd see the same pattern - a slew of extremely negative reviews, followed by some very dubiously glowing reviews. Coincidence? I think not. - Huobi Global's Singapore office has not had a single person with a tenure of more than 1 year (average is 4 months!), so one of the positive reviews where the reviewer claims to have been there for a year is clearly FAKE. - The company has had more than 50 people leave the company in the span of a year, which is almost a week on average! The reason why turnover is so high is simply because of extreme, obstinate, arrogant dictator-style management that most simply cannot bear with. In addition, I have seen many a passionate, hardworking, and intelligent coworker been screwed over. I have met coworkers who would work till wee hours in the morning and get on plane flights to the other end of the earth in two days' notice, and how were they rewarded for their hard work? No, they were not given any bonuses but were even let go without severance packages. Do you want to work for a company that treats employees like this? I urge you to reconsider. - Do you want to get dirty looks the moment you leave the office on time? Do you want to spend 30-45 minutes every single day filling up a report of your daily work that no one even reads? How about doing that in addition to a weekly report that no one reads, every Friday? That's right, you'll have to spend 2 hours of your time on Fridays to fill this report up. If all this senseless micromanagement sounds great to you, join Huobi! There is no doubt about it. The state of the blockchain industry is in turmoil, and instability has struck every company, no matter how big or small. It is how these firms choose to deal with it that matters. I have had the misfortune of experiencing how Huobi Global chose to deal with bleak market conditions, and I assure you that this is a company you would do well to avoid: if anything goes wrong, they will leave you for dead.

Pros

Great office facilities. Nice colleagues as well, just a pity that this is not a good company for career development. Probably get sacked within a year. Great inside look on how a cryptocurrency exchange functions. Blockchain lessons - in Chinese, even for non-speakers.

Cons

Clueless about company direction and when it will change again. No solid plan for the future. Affects your working mood adversely. You get retrenched too easily, when market conditions are poor. It's like employees are disposable workers and you don't care about their skills and expertise or them in general , you just want your task done and for as little cost as possible. Who knows if they'll hire excessively again when the market is bullish. HQ is in China. The Singapore office is just a disposable, supporting role for Huobi to make money in Asia Pacific, and a bragging right to claim to clients that we have solid establishment globally. Huobi is like an ICO, still believing that it is going to be successful just based on hype, not knowing that people have learnt their lessons and investors are smarter now. Without the appropriate R&D, and contributing to the blockchain and crypto space, it is just another exchange, existing just for the sole purpose of making money and nothing else.
