Pros

- Interesting work - Good colleagues - Dynamic work environment

Cons

- The company's core values are just for show. They don't actually care - Work-life balance is horrible. You are expected to be on call 24-hours a day no matter what - HR is ill-equipped to deal with any major issues including racism and harassment. The HR Personelle at ByteDance is among the worst I have ever had to deal with - There is zero accountability. Managers get away with a lot of things - There are a lot of underhanded things going on. Zero transparency and professional work ethic
