Pros

I have recently joined TikTok from a tech giant and I am very happy I did. - It is a fast growing company which bring amazing opportunities - Being part of the growth is exciting and means you take on more responsibility than you would in a larger company - TikTok is very open to feedback therefore any issues that do arise it is taken seriously and a way to fix the issue is very quickly addressed - Very flat structure so you have easy access to the leadership team

Cons

- It is still very much a start up environment therefore things can be chaotic but this gets less and less with every day I am here

Pros

There are some truly fantastic and talented people in the company who make daily collaboration a great experience. Additionally, the insurance and overall health benefits package is quite strong and comprehensive.

Cons

The work culture is heavily driven by top-down directives from HQ, leaving little room for open discussion, transparency, or questioning management decisions. The bi-yearly rating cycle feels highly punitive and is frequently used to target individuals rather than foster growth, leading to an environment where anyone can be abruptly let go. Work-life balance is virtually non-existent due to tedious, high-volume workloads and constant alignment with overseas timelines. Furthermore, leadership instability is a constant concern; local management changes rapidly, frequently replaced by leaders from the parent company, creating an unpredictable and highly volatile work environment.
