Pros

It is a multinational company, it gives good visibility to your resume. If you need experience in several different roles to add to your professional life, ByteDance is the right company for that! Taking into account that when entering a position, you should expect to do your job and the job of other colleagues, including your leadership, receiving only your salary for this role deviation.

Cons

This company is not serious at all! It does not take into account the opinions of its employees. We don't want to work face-to-face just because other technology companies are working! This doesn't make any sense! The leadership supports this type of decision because they don't need to wake up 4 hours before their working hours to take precarious driving and get to work on time. Not to mention there's no room for us to do our job right! There are no meeting rooms, there is no infrastructure to work with and the office internet is precarious! Leaving my house to turn on my computer in another location and hold online meetings with people from other countries is an insane idea, it makes no sense and only serves to disrupt the life of the employee who knows very well how to do his job at home. 4 hours of driving is wasting precious time that the employee has to disconnect from work! It's unhealthy! ByteDance, you are losing great professionals who are spread around the world just because of a precarious location and a work style that is outdated! Working face-to-face is a thing of the past. Not to mention the highly unprepared leadership to do the job, often letting employees do their job due to lack of knowledge of the area. I had 3 burnouts working at this company and I don't recommend it to anyone! There is no opportunity for growth and the compensation is much lower than the market.

Pros

The salary is okay, slightly more than other companies with the same job scope, benefits are the same as other companies, medical, optic and dental. Great colleagues, I'm lucky because my Team Leader is super nice.

Cons

Strict company policy, lateness is taken very seriously cannot even be one minute late everyone will be on you. The KPI is super hard to achieve, I'd say I'm a competent employee I always have been, it's never been a problem for me to achieve KPI at my previous jobs I's used to be in the top 3 performers at my previous jobs. But I've worked here for a year and never once I got the KPI because it is almost impossible. Bonus is very little as their standards are very high, so unless you are extremely good at your job you can only expect half of your monthly salary for your yearly bonus. Also you work on shifts, includes night shifts 10:30pm to 7:30am but allowance is only RM200
