Pros

Average TC(in Guangzhou) is greater than the others. Food is great and has many choices. Working hour is flexible enough for those who manage to enjoy.

Cons

Flexible working hours usually means staying later than 9pm, although you can go to the office at until 11am. The fraught atmosphere of working hard and late.

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.
