TikTok reviews

This company is eating through moderators with the amount of policies and type of content you will be exposed to. We all know the internet is full of terrible stuff, so of course content moderation means you will be exposed to certain overwhelming videos or images. You might think once I see someone abuse an animal I can quickly click a button and *poof* it disappears. Nope. I have to keep watching until the video ends in case there are other violations or my accuracy will suffer a hit. But wait, that’s not all. They started a program to try to measure our accuracy across the board by injecting a certain number of cases that we will all see. That way they can measure if we all see the same videos, how differently did we all tag the same scenario. This sounds great, right? Sadly you’d be wrong because they keep injecting older cases of graphic suicides, animals in blenders, mutilation of humans or animals. That’s right, they are force feeding us additional graphic content, and we are being graded on how well we closely watched it. Suggestions have been made to instead write up descriptions instead of forcing us to see it so we can still be tested on accuracy but not overly exposed. They said “you signed up for this.” They’ve continued to increase the amount of days we have to work in the office, which is the opposite of what most professionals suggest leads to employee happiness and retention. You will see an animal abused, you will see a child abused, you will see decapitation. It’s the job and it’s worsened by the demands for AHT/QA/UR. I don’t care how many pizza parties you throw, you can undo PTSD.

- leadership for some orgs can be toxic or non-transparent - some leaders will try to force you out so you don't write bad performance review about them - some orgs will expect you to work long hours and not mention it in interviews (working as late as 10PM or later) - employee benefits are seriously behind Google, Meta, Linkedin - lots of red tape on approvals that need to get approved in Beijing/Singapore - compensation for some roles are not competitive to the talent market in silicon valley, most notably sales - sales reps at TikTok are extremely underpaid, commissions are capped, and target setting by rev ops/sales ops is hit or miss. Most times its a miss and you'll end up with insane quotas to hit with no opportunity to make it up in later quarters since there is a commission cap -additionally, folks that are on the largest accounts at TikTok booking the most money are put on a compensation/accelerator incentives that are the same as folks in Growth or much smaller accounts. It's not sustainable for keeping high quality sales talent long term.
