Pros

The company values or 'ByteStyles' are rooted in actual activity and transformation. You really feel like collaboration, inclusion, diversity of thought, healthy debate, ownership are not only encouraged but celebrated and rewarded. The people are incredibly smart and helpful, from day 1. Diversity is not just a buzzword, the ERGs are making a real impact, not just internally but on the platform itself! It's INCREDIBLY fast paced, seriously! If that's not your thing then that's ok, but TT won't be for you. The people are class! The culture is very important, from the top down. Career development is not just hoped for, it's inevitable and proactive. Did I mention the people?!

Cons

It's a very flat structure, so it can be hard to grasp who's who, what people do, who your best POC is, the leadership structure in HQ (China) etc. If you want to see an org chart, you'll be disappointed. The pace, it is a 'rocketship', it's hard work that could easily lead to personal mismanagement of time, or imbalanced work/life. But honestly, I do feel that everyone is empowered to make it manageable for themselves, set their own boundaries, communicate their "hard no's" (i.e. early morning calls, missing lunch, evening calls etc) etc. It is a multi-national company, so you can easily be added to meetings outside of your timezone, but there is zero issue with missing those calls and catching up later. My point is, you can make the pace work for you or against you, it's up to you! Personally I enjoy that decisions are getting made! Like most places, comp could be better. But it is going in the right direction.

Pros

the company culture allows me to go beyond of my performance and capability. the process is hyprid-solid, yet there's plenty of rooms for initiative ideas and projects, you just need data driven to support them to make it happen. the work life balance is here for me, sometimes there's some meeting late night because of different timezone and it's understandable (only if you work with cross-region).

Cons

the benefits are better than average but if you compare to top tech companies, it's quite far away. but I see its positive progress every year. compare to the scalable size of business and early stage in the market. I believe it would be more competitive,
