Vantaggi
Great to have on your CV
Svantaggi
* No progression, lack of development * Appraisals are 360 reports but management in China will downgrade you having never met you (affecting your pay and bonus) * No visibility on Levels which effect your pay and is subjective to who interviews you (colleagues with 20 years experience are levelled the same as a recent Grad) *Silo'd teams as lack of org charts (honestly don't know what half the people do there) * Processes, so many processes - everything has to go through 10+ people, half of them don't know why or what the project is. When (not if!) it's paused/rejected you have to start all over again * Management in China make no effort to understand the other regions, they just want you to copy and paste how they work (996) * Retention is poor - someone is leaving every day and the average time at TikTok is 14-18 months * Forcing people back to the office 5 days a week (and promote they are hybrid) * THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT D&I Honestly I could go on, it's great to have on your CV but it's not worth it, all you get is the name.
