Pros

Great company working on interesting problems. The team is small, but growing fast. The culture is relaxed, with flexible work hours. Nice offices in the center of Cape Town, with catered lunch every day. Lots of opportunities to learn and grow.

Cons

Because of the small team, and the competitive nature of the industry, and being a startup, there can sometimes be a lot of pressure on employees. This can put a lot of strain on your work/life balance, although management is very supportive of their employees.

Pros

Bright people who work well as a team, big ideas, solid product and fast execution. Great place to be if you like working with a small team to 'change the world'.

Cons

Bitcoin is likely to consume your life so depending on your personality it can be a good or bad thing. Generally speaking it feels like it's all worth it though.

Pros

BitX is a modern company. Considering the company is less than 5 years of age, the corporate culture is exceptionally well-defined and instilled in a rapidly growing team. As a youthful company in the very new and unpredictable industry of digital currency, BitX does well to avoid unnecessary bureaucratic structures. For the Bitcoin fans out there, one could almost say there's an element of decentralisation, as in the blockchain, within BitX itself. The objective is to stay as agile, lean and limber as possible. Working here, you won't have a $500 bonsai tree on your desk but you can pitch an idea directly to executive management without making an appointment and, if it's a decent one, they'll let you run with it. It's natural that a company experiencing explosive growth will face a unique set of challenges, but the simple fact that a Glassdoor account was created and recommended to employees serves as proof that BitX not only sincerely covets its people and their morale, but acknowledges that there is something valuable to be learned from every member of the team. Overall, it's enriching to be surrounded by highly intelligent people, motivated by a noble cause, in a comfortable environment. BitX looks to have all the right ingredients to achieve its goals and with a little elbow grease, its employees can achieve theirs too.

Cons

The free lunch we get daily sometimes has too much veggies in it. :(
