Working in the Cape Town office is great, the perks are awesome (catered lunches Monday to Thursday, in office masseuse), as an Engineer, I feel that the engineering management listens to me and is on my side when it comes to some of the things I list as cons, and do what they can to work towards making things better (like pushing for remote when C level management is against it). The company is often happy to sponsor community events (employees sometimes host meetups in the office). Salaries are competitive for South Africa and promotions usually happen when they should. Work is not measured by how long you spend in the office.

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.
