Pros

You get TikTok on your resume... we will see if that remains a good thing in the next year or two?

Cons

Geopolitical drama Zero transparency from leadership Most employees don't get equity as part of their upfront package Chinese working culture in an American environment Team role / responsibility overlap No room for growth Wildly unorganized with no clear vision

Messy organisation

Pros

- Very good salaries and benefits (deliveroo vouchers, gifts during festivals and flexible benefits) - Flexibility to work from home - Company do have significant growth opportunities outside of the china market

Cons

- Lack of diversity and inclusion: very Chinese culture and if you cannot speak mandarin it will be tough for you. Documents and meetings are mainly in chinese (even though there are non-chinese speakers) - Lack of transparency in progression and messy management - Unreasonable long hours due to the unclear process which resulted in a lot of duplication of work and no clarity and proper alignments - Multiple teams working on the same tasks due to competitiveness of the teams and no clear leadership direction. - Organisation generally cares more about doing the work rather than focusing on personal growth and development. If you cares about progression then forget about joining a chinese organisation.

Extremely long house, refuse flex work from home

Pros

Fast paced, exiting, great clients, the app itself is amazing. Good pay

Cons

There is absolutely no work life balance. Management is fully aware as it’s been brought up in town hall meetings multiple times and there has been no solution. When asked if they’d consider flexible work from home since a majority of employees prefer this, they use buzz words like “synergy” to essentially say they will not consider. It’s very tough to put in long hours for a company that does very little for employee happiness and well being. They think that swag solves everything.
