      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

      Zero work/life balance

      Pros

      - Great brand to get on your CV - Company is currently in its rapid growth phase, so lots of exciting development, always hiring - If you are in a sales or client-facing role, the brand sells itself - Chinese company therefore speed of innovation is its currency - incredibly fast paced - Much younger/newer tech company in the arena so I really see teams working hard to match industry standards especially around trust and safety, policy, content moderation - Fairly diverse workforce

      Cons

      - 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
