      Pros

      The growth trajectory, and therefore, career trajectory with ByteDance/TikTok is significant. The company is building a very strong, collaborative, and open culture that truly spans across countries and continents. The work is exciting and challenging, and the leadership team is very open in communicating. The company is still going through its adolescence start-up phase, so somethings are not as smooth as they could be. The company is making a real investment in putting together the right tools and processes to streamline all the inefficiencies.

      Cons

      Working with global teams and across 12 time zones can be challenging. However, the flexibility of defining your own work hours helps alleviate a lot of the challenges.

      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.
