Binance, Coinbase and Gemini staff are among the least happy, data suggests
Crypto exchanges including Gemini, Binance and Coinbase are home to some of the least happy employees in the industry, according to data derived from Glassdoor — though some argue the results may be skewed.
A quadrant chart by tech recruitment firm TrueUp — understood to have collated data from job review platform Glassdoor — mapped out how crypto firms stack up when it comes to employee happiness versus growth.

Binance and Coinbase also appear on the left side of the chart, with the respective Glassdoor listings showing a total of 1,257 reviews.
Glassdoor doesn't have a happiness metric but it does gauge whether the reviewer would recommend the company to a friend, whether they approve of the CEO they worked under and whether the reviewer had a positive outlook for the company.
Speaking to Cointelegraph, a Binance spokesperson explained that the firm seeks to hire candidates “who can thrive in a truly high-performance environment” in addition to being “obsessively focused on delivering for our users.”
