ByteDance reviews

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.

Managers can suddenly tell you that your output is not enough without any support or resources, or even knowing what you are doing or what you want to do. Then you tell them that you need this kind of support or that kind of resources, and they will circle a few people for you to talk to.
