From Remote to Regional Offices: Working Around the World With Binance

One of the most common questions we receive from candidates is about our unique work-from-home (WFH) culture. More and more candidates are seeking jobs that offer the option to work remotely and Binance is proud to be one of the pioneers setting the WFH trend – even before the onset of COVID.

Remaining flexible with regional offices around the world allows us to tap into a high-potential and highly motivated global talent pool. Over the past year, Binance has doubled our headcount to more than 7,000 people. We plan to continue growing throughout the rest of 2022 and beyond in support of our mission to build the future of Web3. Here’s a quick look at how and why:

Trusting Our People

Binance focuses on hiring talented individuals who are passionate about blockchain technology and the limitless possibilities of Web3. Our leadership team facilitates a high-performing and results-driven culture by providing a high level of trust and autonomy to the entire organization. 

We, as a company, also recognize the importance of engendering trust with our staff and users around the world. To that end, Binance is actively collaborating with policymakers and regulators in many jurisdictions globally to ensure that our products and operations are compliant with local laws and guidelines.

Promoting Work/Life Flexibility

When we, as a company, spend less time on traditional operations and conventions like requiring our staff to be on-site at one of our physical locations, our people have more time to do their jobs well and more freedom to manage their schedules as they see fit, whether that be dedicating time to childcare, exercise, volunteerism or other extracurricular activities. Binancians (as we affectionately call our team members) have the flexibility to live their lives and do their jobs in a way that works best for them.  

Communicating Openly

As a company that thrives on cross-functional work and collaboration, Binance has a strong culture of transparent, direct, and honest communication. We encourage our people to share ideas and opinions and provide constructive feedback to colleagues regardless of function or seniority. We believe in helping each other grow and develop, and have a number of internal processes and tools to facilitate these interactions.

Staying Connected Onsite or Remotely

In locations where we have a large physical presence, our colleagues have the freedom to be onsite as much or as little as they want or need (depending on the requirements of their role). We, as a company, encourage our people to meet up with colleagues in both social and professional capacities and periodically organize formal gatherings for teams to meet and work together at our regional offices around the world, including France, Spain, Italy, Dubai, Australia, and New Zealand. Regardless of location, we at Binance stay seamlessly connected to one another both virtually and in person. That connection forms the core of a collaborative and positive culture at Binance.

Hear From Some of Our Binance Colleagues Around the World

Nick (Business Controller, Asia)

"I have been able to try out working in several different locations in Southeast Asia, and now I find it hard to imagine ever being tied down to one location or going into an office. As long as you are willing to work with time zone differences and respect your teammates' workstyles and preferences, taking advantage of remote work opportunities is definitely possible!" 

Joan (Talent Acquisition, Asia)

‘’The fact that I don't need to commute allows me to manage my schedule better, which promotes my work-life flexibility and productivity. To compensate for the missing human touch, we are in constant communications within the business that makes you forget you are in a different location and timezone!’’ 

Adam (Governance Affair, North America)

‘’Working from home at Binance is fantastic- the trust I have in my colleagues and they in me to be collaborative, creative, and productive is very rewarding.” 

Marcelo (HRBP, South America) 

‘’At Binance, many of us work remotely, but we will have offices in some Latin American countries to meet the cultural needs of employees. Personally, I am adapted to remote work and I consider that it allows me to have flexibility during my day, being able to spend more time with my family and have the flexibility to do activities that would not be possible if I had a 100% face-to-face job.’’ 

Gracie (HRSSC, Europe)

‘’We can work globally and manage our own priorities to fit in the individual lifestyle. As a team, we spend significant time on calls to bounce ideas and ask questions.  We are trying to create a more focused remote office within the team.’’ 

Vivian (Talent Acquisition, North America) 

"The reduction of the need to go into the office results in lowering carbon footprints! This means we are not only doing it for our own convenience but also doing something for the greater good of the environment! Another thing that I love about remote working is the improvement to our mental health. Having the flexibility to take necessary breaks allows me to focus more effectively at work, be less worried about external distractions, have less stress, and obtain more comfort while working. As a result, it generates a higher level of productivity and job satisfaction." 

Marie (HRSSC, Asia)

‘’While many organizations felt that working from home may cause engagement levels to drop, at Binance, that is not the case as we have announcement bots, chat groups, and engaging meeting sessions where we get to share our views and opinions. It has been a great experience!’’ 

Marc (HRBP, Europe)

“Since joining Binance and working 100% from home, I have felt that I have been able to really enjoy the flexibility of getting the work done but also balancing my family needs. I have a young family and saving 3 hours from commuting is the extra time I get with them and working on meaningful projects.”
