Pros

- Good compensation and benefits ( at the beginning ) - Office lunch FOC ( just started )

Cons

Job - Job security is becoming unstable as AI continues to replace roles across various departments. - Significant downsizing in most departments is leading to reduced opportunities. Hiring - The hiring process often involves an excessive number of interview rounds. For instance, after passing three rounds, failing the fourth—despite having impressed a Senior Program Manager—can result in losing the opportunity if the HOD finds your responses unsatisfactory, expecting them to align with a CEO-level perspective. - This practice is crushing the aspirations of individuals striving to advance in their corporate careers. Performance reviews - Vulnerable to sabotage in 360-degree reviews, as feedback is not cross-verified to ensure the accuracy or truthfulness of the writer's input.

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.
