ByteDance reviews

- Very high intensity, colleagues in China working 996 and some leaders expect the same from you - There is a complete lack of transparency; they don’t ever answer employee questions and censor most feedback and questions - Very high attrition rate in the past 12 months - Some horrifically toxic leadership in some unfortunate teams where it’s quite shocking that despite ethics department investigations, nothing happens - Extremely top-down from HQ (China) on several decisions regardless of severe consequences locally - Cases where TikTok didn’t support or provide any paid leave for employees diagnosed with cancer - Base salaries are far below Big Tech competitors - Stock/RSU is potentially worthless and worth less than many purchased it at from the company - Complete opaque levelling criteria and pay scales, dramatic differences in compensation for the same role in teams - Suffering from innovation fatigue - Lots of new managers (very underqualified and inexperienced leaders)

In a position of leadership, if you are not chinese, you have no chance. They lack complete knowledge of how to do business in Europe but they think they know everything. Completely delusional mindset and vision. Incompetent people placed in roles they are not fit for.
