Great benefits, Growing product, Lot to learn but battered by US-China tradewar
Pros
- Great benefits & Competitive salary - Extremely fast paced culture so you will learn a lot (1 Month feels like 1 Year) - Tiktok is growing so u get to be part of a product which is growing exponentially (Good brand to have on your resume) - Free food - Young culture - New office brings fresh energy
Cons
- Most decisions are taken in China - HQ in China - Constant uncertainty due to US-China trade-war - Chinese team members tend to speak in Chinese so non-Chinese speakers can feel left out - Competitive culture so everyone is trying to prove themselves fast and step on others toes - 996 culture is rampant - You may not be able to work for US government/related companies in future since you were part of a Chinese company - Pain of a growing global company. Something I have witnessed at Uber & Airbnb
