Pros

Shift and meal allowances are beneficial, considering base salary might not be competitive. Some perks made the company a decent employer in this current landscape where companies everywhere are always cutting cost.

Cons

Not much cons except the obvious cost-cutting and laying-offs happening every other month.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
