Business Outlook
Pros
The employees are exceptionally talented — top schools, advanced degrees, and high technical standards.
Cons
ByteDance has a toxic work culture that's hard to imagine unless you've experienced it firsthand. You push yourself to the limit, working long hours every day — late nights, weekends — and in the end, you might still get blamed and receive a poor performance review. That said, if your team doesn't need to interact with teams based in China or with expats sent from China, it can be a completely different story.
