Pros

Good pay and benefits. Team members are helpful and positive. Good culture and vibes formed by good people. Bytedance have a structure based on performance and contributions regarding increments.

Cons

Lacks of transparency in terms of promotions and future growth. If you are looking to join, you need to understand Bytedance is a fast moving and ever changing technology company. This means be prepared to face layoffs and huge changes every years. Job security here is only as strong as your value and skills set that you brings to the company.

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.
