Pros

Health and dental insurance... that’s it.

Cons

At Tiktok, you’re not a human being. You’re a machine assessed by numbers and stats. They forbid us to take Annual Leave days on Christmas and most of august. When you try to voice an issue, you are treated like a child and told off for “behavioural issues”. No one takes responsibility over anything. Everything is your fault. Even the most basic technical issue. Management is incompetent and seems to value that trait in others. Those who are “yes-men” with zero innovation and people’s skills will get promoted. They think that if they send you cheap merchandise, you’ll be content. They lie in the interview. We were told we would do one weekend a month, after we started it turned out it was actually every other weekend. They told us we won’t be doing nights, and now they want to force us to do night shifts for weeks on end. Don’t fall for the trap. Nothing is worth it. I’m sure there are better places to work at. I know I’ll be leaving as soon as possible.

Pros

Great perks: free food, free gym, napping area available in many buildings, free afternoon tea, free fruits, Mother’s Day gifts, low-cost massage Also extremely fast-growing business, the company has been a great success A lot of young people, creative Generally pretty flat culture Automates everything they can automate from expense management to onboarding and tissue delivery

Cons

Sometimes a bit of politics - team leader expects you to behave like a subordinate, but I come from finance and this level of hierarchy is totally fine and far far away from toxic hierarchies I have experienced in finance

Pros

You get TikTok on your resume... we will see if that remains a good thing in the next year or two?

Cons

Geopolitical drama Zero transparency from leadership Most employees don't get equity as part of their upfront package Chinese working culture in an American environment Team role / responsibility overlap No room for growth Wildly unorganized with no clear vision
