Pros

- Free drinks, - Free snacks (but if you're on late or night shift, you may not benefit it from that much, as it doesn't get filled up as often as it supposed to be), - Free warm lunch or dinner (small portion) from Monday to Friday,

Cons

- TikTok doesn't offer salary rise, to get it, you need to get a promotion and move to another department, - Since we don't get a salary rise, many people want to move to a different department, and it's not possible to develop a career as we don't have enough internal jobs, - Everything has got more expensive, just go to supermarket and compare prices, everyday items got 20% or more expensive and we are not getting a salary rise but therefore we are obligated to come to the office 2 times a week. This is just an additional cost. Previously we were allowed to work from home and we didn't need to come to work. - Either the hot food's portions should be increased, or just offer a better salad buffet with more diverse choices. I understand some people like to eat raw broccoli and cauliflower as their salad choice, not everyone is into super healthy meals. For example, I like tuna pasta salad as well as potato salad.

Pros

Pay is level with industry and actual work is somewhat interesting depending on the team you're on

Cons

In my experience, career growth can feel very limited if you are not part of the dominant internal language and cultural network. A significant amount of important context, communication, and decision-making happens in Chinese, which can make non-Chinese-speaking employees feel excluded from key conversations and promotion opportunities. The environment did not feel as inclusive as it should be for a global company. Advancement often felt less tied to performance and more tied to whether you were connected to the right groups or able to operate fluently within the Chinese-speaking side of the organization. Over time, it felt like non-Chinese-speaking employees had fewer long-term career paths and were at risk of being replaced by people who could better fit that internal operating model. Things also move very slowly because employees are often given access only to the bare minimum needed to do their jobs. There is a heavy push toward using AI tools, but in practice it can make it harder to get help from real people. Instead of getting quick support, you often have to spend time going through AI bots or internal tools before getting a useful answer.
