Pros

Multicultural environment. Career progression is somewhat promoted.

Cons

Unbearable amount of lies. It is a shame they feel the need to blatantly lie to candidates during the interview process in order to lure them in. The recruiter said 1K videos was the daily target (which is already very ambitious) but much to my surprised it was increased by 37% the second I passed probation. Working hours turned out to be yet another blatant lie. I was told there were only 2 shifts (early and late) and only 1 working weekend. It turns out you only get 1 weekend off a month! Nonexistent work-life balance. New shifts were also introduced which sit right in the middle of the day (12 to 9 - 10 to 7) making it near to impossible to have a social life. Despite the disappointment and discouragement, you are reminded by your TL that bonus is also based on participation and visibility and the pressure to keep a smile on your face and crack jokes like nothing really happened is really high as your bonus depends on it. Very little support from your manager if you're a quiet person who prefers to do the job independently. You are reminded you need to keep your camera on, talk, participate and show interest which would be fair enough had it not been for the lack of trust and motivation the company caused. Lastly, the salary. Quite possibly the lowest salary I've ever been offered and no room for negotiation, no matter your experience. Overall a very disappointing experience and one I wouldn't recommend to anyone. I can assure you your mental health will be greatly affected should you decide to take this job.

Pros

TikTok values every team member and it feels like it is easy to get your voice heard Good work/life balance

Cons

The company wants to go back to office-work as soon as it is safe to do so, instead of listening to employees and our needs. I don't want to go back to two hour commuting when I can do the job just as well or even better from home. I hope this will change. There's still a big lack of structure when it comes to interview process, training, ramp up. During my training I was close to leaving the job because the whole process felt pretty incompetent.

Pros

Great salary but likely b/c at the time we didn't get equity. That may have changed, unsure.

Cons

Expected to work 12+ hours a day and weekends, no transparency, decisions made without data, managers are checked out
