Pros

Talent Acquisition Partner guides the candidate through the process and set up the interviews at convenient times. The process takes about a week's time if you are the right fit. Extended support and guidance given when applying for the work-pass if you are an expat. The up-to-date communication with HRBP and the work-pass application team is kept in email. It is "Always Day 1" here at ByteDance, strive for more and support each other. Everyone simply celebrates what each individual brings to the table. Overall a smooth and a swift hiring experience!

Cons

The Official Work Agreement will only be shared once you have resigned from previous employment if any. To be signed at the start date of your employment with ByteDance. However all clauses can be clarified with the HRBP and they provide sufficient clarification in email.

Pros

Pay was satisfactory. Advertised culture and values look good.

Cons

Work overtime daily. Work on Sunday every 2 weeks. Almost no personal life. Actual culture and values differ far from boasted in most teams. No engineer culture. Purely product oriented. Hard to get promoted. No annual salary raise. Management is in chaos. Goals change a lot (except core teams).

Pros

You have to make around 2 - 10 min videos of the subject questions and they provide answers also. You have to buy a tablet pen for this, but you will get reimbursement for that, overall payout is good , they do every week.

Cons

Nothing, you will find difficult for first 3 - 5 days after that you will be good.
