You get what you put in
Pros
-Product is amazing, best in class for short form video - fast paced environment - lots of opportunity to try and learn new things - great people
Cons
- leadership for some orgs can be toxic or non-transparent - some leaders will try to force you out so you don't write bad performance review about them - some orgs will expect you to work long hours and not mention it in interviews (working as late as 10PM or later) - employee benefits are seriously behind Google, Meta, Linkedin - lots of red tape on approvals that need to get approved in Beijing/Singapore - compensation for some roles are not competitive to the talent market in silicon valley, most notably sales - sales reps at TikTok are extremely underpaid, commissions are capped, and target setting by rev ops/sales ops is hit or miss. Most times its a miss and you'll end up with insane quotas to hit with no opportunity to make it up in later quarters since there is a commission cap -additionally, folks that are on the largest accounts at TikTok booking the most money are put on a compensation/accelerator incentives that are the same as folks in Growth or much smaller accounts. It's not sustainable for keeping high quality sales talent long term.
