Pros

Great benefits (education, gym, 10 day sick leave, 25 day holidays, food allowance) and salary (EUR 38,000)

Cons

My position was made redundant due to the company's economy, yet just a week before this happened, OKG part of OKX gave away hundreds of MackBook Pro, iPads, 1TB iPhones 14 pro and crypto. The company doesn't seem to have economic issues otherwise, they wouldn't give away such pricy gadgets, the iPhone alone costs more than €2,000!!! It seems that the 'closed' the office in Dublin so that they hire in countries where they can pay less (Turkey, Malaysia, Brazil, etc). They didn't close the office as it was highlighted by HR in Dublin as the rent was renewed in January at WeWork. OKX has just hired CEO a few days ago, hence they are not closing the Dublin office. Additionally, in the redundancy letter HR mentioned they were not able to find a suitable position. This is not true because they never try to do so. I asked them if I could apply for the open positions but they were not helpful. Despite the salary and benefits I would not work again at OKX or recommend it as they are not transparent. This is my second redundancy and this was was the worst. Considering the size of the company I thought they would offer us a redundancy compensation but we got 0! At least let us keep the laptop but that was not the case. I could not sleep for days due to the redundancy as I did not see coming.

Pros

Good salary. Nice office and excellent team.

Cons

90% of the Ireland team was made redundant. No support was offered by the company, no compensation package. Not even flexibility to work from home in the last month after we got noticed of the redundancy. This company shares a lot of its line of business with Okcoin which was always very suspicious form the beginning. The HR team based in Malta was in charge of supporting Dublin. They promised a pension plan in every single employee job offer and this was never set and executed in over a year. The HR lead (Lucia) is unqualified, rude, and lacks soft skills. This is by far the worse job experience that I have even gone through. If you don’t speak Chinese, you won’t progress in this company.

Pros

Toxic and stressful workplace. The management does bot care about anyone. There is no clear future strategy. There is no proper support or career progress. You may lose your job any second because there is a chaos in the company.

Cons

Chaotic toxic workplace, nothing to learn or improve your skills.
