Challenging culture and inconsistent leadership direction - Product Designer Bitso Employee Review

High level of autonomy and ability to make a difference

Fast paced and processes need to be built out

Talented colleagues Fully remote work (for now) Industry is exciting

The number of people who had to seek professional medical help during or after their tenure at Bitso is in the double digits. The leadership is so toxic and they lack congruence in their actions. They say and pretend they care, they dont. The culture is a reflection of a CEO who thinks he is being curious, but his obsession with truth seeking is not only a distraction to work but comes across as arrogant and disrespectful to employees. Leadership is mostly incompetent in the areas they lead, at least a good 80 to 90% of them. All the positive press is a curtain to hide the poor revenue performance, which continuously leads to staff cuts. The list of cons is way longer than pros, but the biggest con is that Bitso is so toxic you are likely to experience burnout related mental problems that will require months of therapy. All your work will never be good enough, and your worth will be reduced to zero, unless you are well connected and liked by the CEO.
