Stable environment but high workload and fast pace - Software Engineer ByteDance Employee Review

Work life balance is amazing

There are no cons for this role

The pay is competitive, and the overall compensation package is fairly good.

If you are not Chinese, career advancement can be significantly more difficult, especially when it comes to promotion opportunities and visibility with leadership. I previously worked in HR compliance at ByteDance. While large-scale layoffs may happen less frequently than at some other companies, the company may use many unusual or legally questionable approaches to pressure employees to resign or justify termination. Employees should be very careful, understand company policies, and keep written records of important conversations.
