- Business leaders in China HQ have never turned up in EU/US townhalls
- Some team leads were hired before TikTok blew up so they may not be best placed to lead a much larger and more experienced team now, leading to lots of unmet expectations within the team
- if you are "lucky" enough to report to a manager who was seconded from Beijing, good luck trying to explain European business culture to them
- Comp and benefit still to be improved
- Absolutely zero work/life balance. I clock 8am to 11pm on average and work on Sundays. This is not due to my poor time management but the unrealistic expectation from incompetent leadership within my team
- Job descriptions are left vague on purpose. I found myself in a job that was not exactly what I expected when I interviewed for it
- This place worships ex-Facebookers and ex-Googlers blindly, doesn't matter what sort of role they held there. As long as one is from a FAANG company, they are seen as an "outstanding employee" even if they are indeed mediocre
