Best tech company to work for in the US

Pros

I've worked at other companies (Silicon Valley software company, media entertainment in LA, smartphone company, semiconductor company). These things set TikTok and ByteDance apart from other companies: 1. Tremendous growth potential - fastest company in history to reach $17B and $35B revenue, fastest mobile app to reach 2B downloads, just getting started. 2. Opportunity to work on what you want - unlike older companies where you are pigeon-holed in a role, TikTok is only 2 years old, and you get a lot of white space to work on what you want and shape the future of the company. 3. Amazing people - super sharp, humble, friendly, hard working, supportive. 4. Culture: the teams that I know do not work 996, contrary to a couple reports out there. I work hard M-Th (8-10 hours per day), then stop working on Friday at 2, 3 or 4pm. Only worked 1 weekend in last 10 months because of an urgent project. - ByteStyles: Be Open & Humble, Be Grounded & Courageous, Always Day 1, Aim for the Highest. 5. Better salary than other companies 6. Lots of TikTok swag! 7. Exciting for a company to work with content creators and shaping culture and music.

Cons

-fast-paced and constantly changing, but other tech companies are like that.

Pros

- Free Lunch, - People you work with directly are nice

Cons

- Targets are now impossible to achieve, so no bonuses - Moving from 3 -> 4 days in the office - Performance reviews are rated on a bell curve, and recently they have said M- is the new norm. - Rarely get a salary raise, so expect to stay on your package for 3-4 years. - Since new management, turnover rate is an all time high so morale is low. - Pay incredibly low compared to competitors in the same space - Culture is VERY TOXIC There are so much more but I would just say to avoid working here altogether as there are other platforms that have more/better benefits.
