Supportive Thai colleagues, limited autonomy under Chinese leadership - Product Manager bei KuCoin: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Most decisions are made by Chinese leadership, so the local team has little autonomy. The culture is command and control with frequent micromanagement and low psychological safety. Pushing back or offering different views rarely lands well. Priorities shift often, leading to constant fire drills and after-hours work. Credit tends to flow upward while blame rolls downhill. Reviews look for who to blame instead of what to improve. Heavy office politics and unclear approval chains slow execution. The friction is not about language; it comes from a mismatched work ethic.
