      PSA if you are thinking about joining

      Anonymous employee

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Some nice and helpful people Hybrid arrangement Office near to mrt Some of the things the positive reviews say are true but VERY dependent on your manager

      Cons

      Very dependent on your manager... if other people are saying bad things about your manager, and you feel that the vibe is off and something sus, trust your instinct. RUN. I didn't trust my instinct and suffered. Terrible person to work with. No startup culture, and there's no coaching (they say there will be but it's not true). So you need to come from a very similar industry to survive.

      Strong People Culture & Great work life balance

      Business development
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Exceptional Flexibility: Offers highly flexible work arrangements, including strong remote options. - True Meritocracy: Promotions and growth are genuinely merit-based and performance-driven. - Proven Industry Leader: An original FinTech pioneer with a decade-long track record, providing deep expertise, stability, and strong market momentum. - Feedback-Driven Culture: A strong people-first culture where employee feedback is genuinely heard and implemented, not just acknowledged. - Healthy Work-Life Balance: The company strongly supports a great work-life balance. - Excellent Local Benefits: Provides good insurance coverage for employees in Indonesia.

      Cons

      - Senior Career Path Clarity: Clear career progression paths are still being formalized, particularly for roles at or above the Manager level. (Junior-level progression is more established). - Strategic Direction: Historically, there was a strong tendency to pivot annually. However, the business model solidified significantly in 2025 and feels much more sustainable.

      Transparent culture with approachable leadership

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      I can talk directly with our CTO and my manager without stress. When I bring up problems I’m facing, they genuinely listen and try hard to help. Our team shares process, ideas, tools, and important updates openly between engineers, PMs, and founders. We also have bi-weekly company-wide syncs where each department shares progress, so everything stays transparent. HR and engineering managers keep improving the performance review process. People are honest, respectful, and polite to each other.

      Cons

      Compensation is the main area I’d like to see improved. I understand there are local market constraints, and I’ve heard my salary is among the top in Taiwan within the company. As the company continues to grow, having clearer compensation bands and regular market calibration would make rewards feel more aligned with impact and responsibilities.

      Supportive environment with transparent leadership

      Data analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great work environment with transparent leadership and supportive managers within the data team. Communication is clear, and mentorship opportunities help employees continue learning and growing professionally. The company also offers good work-life balance through flexibility and remote work support, along with appreciated bonus incentives.

      Cons

      One area for improvement is that promotion opportunities and salary increases can sometimes take longer than expected. A lot of smart and great people worked here.

      Strong product, WFH and benefits are solid, career growth less so

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      * Flexible WFH arrangement that really supports work-life balance. * Solid teammates — collaboration within the team is generally strong and reliable. * Dedicated budget for L&D and bonding, with freedom for the team to choose what’s most relevant. * Interesting business and product vision in the growing Web3 industry. * Allowances and benefits are fairly comprehensive (insurance, glasses, dental, maternity, internet). * Some managers do set good alignment and support growth (though this really depends on who you get).

      Cons

      * Your experience heavily depends on your manager’s quality — Not all managers focus on helping you grow in your career — some are better at managing upward than leading their people, many people managers lack the skills to truly develop their team. * Career progression is inconsistent; managers often get promoted/highlighted while their teams are left behind. * Don’t expect regular salary increments (even just to match inflation) unless your manager happens to fight for you. * Company direction often shift — what’s “top priority” today can easily change tomorrow. * OKRs sometimes don’t reflect reality, with sudden requests from top management that weren’t part of the original plan. * Cross-team alignment is not always smooth, and misalignment can spill over to other teams.
