Unreasonable expectations, lack of transparency, frequent firing - Anonymous employee Binance Employee Review

Terrible hours, expect to work 24/7 - Most of the leadership is based in the Middle East or APAC. If you live outside of those time zones, you will be regularly expected to attend calls before 7am and after 10pm North America time. Highly centralized and political - All decisions roll up to the leadership team. Even small decisions need to be looked at by CZ. Decisions take forever and the leadership team is always the gatekeeper of approvals, yet they expect you to reach absurdly high KPIs. Unreasonable expectations - They expect you to regularly work until 3am and attend meetings at ~6am, and set KPIs that are 2-5 times more than what a normal company would set. They motivate employees through fear of getting fired since no one can hit these KPIs. Chinese-centric - If you do not speak business Chinese, you will not make it far in this company. Most of the leadership is Chinese native, and not English native. If you cannot present your ideas in Chinese, it may fall on deaf ears. There is a "PMO" or bilingual secretary (usually a senior IC-level junior person) assigned to each member of leadership. These PMOs are constantly trying to gatekeep and elevate themselves, even if it means throwing team members under the bus. Lack of integrity - during the mass 2023 US employee layoff, there were cases of actively reducing severance packages initially promised.
