Pros

Colleagues are nice and working from home

Cons

Low pay, no transparency, terrible shifts. You do the same every single day - watch tik tok videos non stop. The review policy changes almost daily and the calibration between trainers, advisors is terrible. Bonus system is ridiculous! No transparency on how bonuses are calculated. Salary is very low for a company pretending to be as successful as TikTok. You are allowed to finish work even if you reach your daily target. No shift swaps are allowed between colleagues. You cannot take AL anytime you want. Forget about planning any trips as people in charge of the schedule announce it month by month and due to annual reviews in August and December you are not allowed to take any days off then. Decisions are made without taking peoples opinion. No feedbacks are ever taken into consideration. I had high expectations, but to this point got very disappointed by everything.

Pros

There are some truly fantastic and talented people in the company who make daily collaboration a great experience. Additionally, the insurance and overall health benefits package is quite strong and comprehensive.

Cons

The work culture is heavily driven by top-down directives from HQ, leaving little room for open discussion, transparency, or questioning management decisions. The bi-yearly rating cycle feels highly punitive and is frequently used to target individuals rather than foster growth, leading to an environment where anyone can be abruptly let go. Work-life balance is virtually non-existent due to tedious, high-volume workloads and constant alignment with overseas timelines. Furthermore, leadership instability is a constant concern; local management changes rapidly, frequently replaced by leaders from the parent company, creating an unpredictable and highly volatile work environment.
