Pros

Aggressively pursuing licences everywhere for expansion. Willing to overspend money on high profile partnerships, influencers and marketing, so big brand in industry. Fully remote work. Starting salary is decent. Lots of nice people especially at junior to mid levels.

As many others already posted, there are serious problems with management and leadership. Unfortunately this will not change as they own the business. According to public media news they were friends before they started crypto.com during previous failed businesses. Management keep trying to persuade everyone that the business is successful and stable by quoting things in their favour. One example is saying how many millions of users there are on the platform, but not providing any transparency or actual details. It is widely believed that most users only opened an account with the business using a minimum deposit and are not active. There is sole focus on quantity across all aspects of the business. Productivity is assessed by how many tasks you seem to have finished, and not standard of work or time used. There is a real lack of quality due to incompetent management, bad hiring and promoting, and no internal structure. In Legal, for example, many colleagues know the team is headed by an incompetent and inexperienced bully who was promoted only due to being first to join. This makes the whole team suffer and creates a stressful toxic environment. Many colleagues started leaving and those remaining are planning exits too. Most decisions are driven in APAC by leaders with no experience outside of their own country. Do not believe the fake short positive reviews trying to mask the real negative views of most employees.

Kontras

In a compliance role, leadership should be willing to listen when analysts/associates raise concerns about regulatory risk, process weaknesses, or policy gaps. In my experience, that was not the culture here. Too often, valid concerns were dismissed instead of taken seriously, even when they involved issues that could affect the firm from a compliance and control perspective. What made the experience especially frustrating was the leadership style within parts of compliance. Rather than encouraging open dialogue, managers came across as defensive, dismissive, and more focused on protecting their own authority than addressing the substance of the issue and creating a toxic environment where raising concerns did not feel safe or productive. Instead of approaching issues in a professional and solution-oriented way, interactions could become personal, degrading, and hostile. This became even more concerning when the NAM compliance department later failed several items in an internal audit, including areas that had already been flagged by analysts as process or policy gaps. That, to me, reflected a broader problem: important concerns were being raised internally, but not handled with the seriousness or humility they required. There was also very little transparency or accountability when it came to employee development, feedback, or career progression. Communication with subordinates was poor, and employees were not given meaningful support or clarity around growth opportunities. HR was equally disappointing. From my perspective, there did not appear to be a reliable or well-structured path for employees to raise concerns and expect a fair resolution. Overall, my experience was that parts of the compliance culture operated more like an insular power structure than a healthy control function. For a company in a heavily regulated space, that is a serious leadership and culture problem.
