Business Outlook

Pros

Great people, HUGE collaboration spirit, always getting support from everyone. massive opportunity to grow, you can definitely make an impact in the company. Interview process + on boarding was excellent.

Cons

not really a bad thing but you must keep in mind TikTok is still a startup company, so leads/managers will be open to new ideas and pushing yourself to be more proactive and be involved in new projects.
