Chinese tech firm masquerading as global MNC, run CCP style - Consumer Insights Manager TikTok Employee Review

Terrible work culture, young and inexperienced leaders who are know-it-alls. Focus on meaningless rubbish like monitoring RTO and winning petty arguments than actual work. Top down decision making, top down everything, new ideas and suggestions get derided. Leaders only know how to talk about feel good things like open culture, flat hierarchy, flexibility, but they are in fact rigid, political, close minded and engaged in extreme group think. Only know how to talk the talk but do not walk the walk. 360 reviews are a joke where team leads can randomly add people that you've never or barely work with in order to get high number of rejections or negative reviews. Promotion is a round table where people whom you have never met judge you on work that they've never seen in departments they've never worked with. Presentation in Chinese, when all work that was done was in English. Working hard day to day is not enough, still have to work on the presentation to prove your work is good to people you have never met, in a language that you struggle with, to be considered for promotion. Also no yearly pay increment, reason being "you are already in the upper levels of this pay band".
