Pros

It's a good company that offers a good experience and movement within the horizontal or lateral movement. As long as you're up to the challenges you'll have a chance to try new roles at your 6 months for the first internal transfer and and a year after you first internal transfer

Cons

no salary adjustment although you been promoted to a new roles if it's within the same job grade although bigger responsibilities. The office politics is real here

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.
