      Terrible IT services in Palo Alto Office

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Worked in this company over a year, the culture is fine. Is more of Chinese driven culture, majority of the engineering are Chinese. Maybe due to the engineering team in China also Chinese.. Great food for lunch and Dinner.

      Cons

      IT services in Palo Alto is like hit or miss. New Hire IT Orientation, the IT guy did not prepare anything, we been in the same room for one hour to login to the ByteDance-Guest WiFi, it required a code.. I can''t get the code because the account is not setup. Printer are no where to be found in the WiFi network, you have to beg them for setting up printer! The Internet always go down because it only have one Internet circuit! Get a backup circuit so other people can work! The WiFi sometime will drop, specially when you doing conference call with your laptop.

      Poor Management Skills, Management has no directions

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Freebies (sweater, t-shirts, things) Limited snacking (cheapo), and drinks. Choice of Mac or Windows laptops. Shift and Meal allowances. Comfortable workplace (somewhat).

      Cons

      Discriminative leads/managers. Unprofessional behaviours from leads (yelling/scolding at staff in front of other people) There's no such thing as flexible working in the company. They want you to come to the office every working day. The leads kept changing in less than a year. The lead was unprofessional when it came to resolving issues related to the platforms, and playbook. They put others on top of their team. Lead had been reported to HR due to his disrespectful behaviour towards others, but no action was taken on the lead. There's no such things as work life balance. Lead asked the staff to cover for someone who's on leave when it's their jobs to do so.
