Pros

1. Higher salary in general, no OT required for KL office unless there's emergency needs. 2. Weekly once RTO, young culture therefore not much restriction.

Cons

1. Moving up in terms of job level/ salary is extremely hard as it requires you to be rated as perform 'more than expectation" twice in a roll for half year review. However the review could be based on favouritism. 2. Expect unclear job scope or inexperienced TL, if you're looking for a structured workplace, this is not a good place for you. 3. Redundant/ duplicated work everywhere, bureaucracy at it's best eg: 3-4 similar docs, OKR completion and monthly self- review even for positions that have a fixed job scope.

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.
