Pros

- Accessible, it is basically right next to the Muzium Negara MRT

Cons

- They decided to cut headcount due to the US issue probably but instead of offering severance plan directly, they make the KPI and monthly performance difficult and overly competitive in order to rate you down so that you will eventually leave. - Think with a very old-fashioned mindset although they are the leading social media app/ IT company, work could be done at home and more efficiently since we are given laptops to bring home but force us to work in the office. Basically doing the same thing in office or from home. - No increment for 3 years although being a MNC - Does not seems to listen to our voices.

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.
