Pros

Really cool office. Sometimes travel, get a chance to work on cool projects, and you learn valuable transferable skills. Helpful reimbursements for health/wellness and cell phone. Snacks and food provided. Team outings are fun! Spot Bonuses are possible, and encourage a friendly and inspiring environment.

Cons

Very difficult to get a raise or promotion. No annual salary adjustments. Expect large asks from leadership with very short deadlines, which results in working late nights and weekends.

Pros

Nice office & they provide lunch and snacks

Cons

Unrealistic expectations, I was in a heavy processing role and was provided with one months training, after that you’re expected to achieve a 98.5% accuracy rate, you’re also monitored for how quickly you process tasks so finding the balance between accuracy and timeliness is borderline impossible. Management will never be happy until your numbers are the same as the employees based in China, in my opinion they have a complete lack of understanding of working cultures for different regions. This probably explains why certain teams are 70-80% Chinese and lack diversity… why even have a London office? They make employees take quarterly exams… The company has no org chart, you see hundreds of people each day with no clue who they are or what they do. I’m not sure I’m allowed to share the exact wording of the employee contract but there are some terms i’m surprised are even legal… for anyone thinking of joining I advise asking to see a copy of all contract terms before handing your notice in to your current company, especially if your type of role has overtime. Was told on a Wednesday that the following week we would be returning to three days a week in the office, little warning, no consultation and no consideration to their employees personal schedules. For those thinking of joining, at the interview stage it’s important you discuss in depth what the targets are for your role and how success will be measured because the bonus will be very hard to achieve. Overall I think this is a soulless company, in my work history the shortest time I’ve spent at a company was three years, at TikTok I wanted to leave after three months.

Pros

- Good comp which included signing bonus. - Work/life balance was good but my role did not collaborate with Beijing. - Will give it to them. I did see a lot of diversity at least at the Culver City office. - Might get banned by the US government.

Cons

- Recruiting and interview process took six months. - Way too many re-orgs. Literally like every 3 months. And all the re-orgs happened from the top down with no collaboration with middle management. - All decision making power out of Beijing. US leadership has no say into anything.
