Pros

The employees are exceptionally talented — top schools, advanced degrees, and high technical standards.

Cons

ByteDance has a toxic work culture that's hard to imagine unless you've experienced it firsthand. You push yourself to the limit, working long hours every day — late nights, weekends — and in the end, you might still get blamed and receive a poor performance review. That said, if your team doesn't need to interact with teams based in China or with expats sent from China, it can be a completely different story.

Pros

we get a lot if exposure, benefits and also we are still under hybrid

Cons

sometimes, we are not compensate enough despite all the hardworks. we have this stack ranking system, hence it'll be impossible for everyone to get a monthly bonus. it gets very demotivating. sometimes, one person has to handle up to 6 projects, but when no appreciation is given despite the hard work, it gets so demotivating to go to work
