Pros

Good perks and facilities provided. Previously offered competitive salaries.

Cons

Company is becoming increasingly unstable with frequent process changes. Layoffs occur every 6 months, creating job insecurity. Adopting a typical BPO culture, leading to a decline in employee satisfaction. Management is not supportive or approachable.

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.
