Pros
-Great opp for candidates with irrelevant/little/no experience looking to work for a platform, or leveling up from a lower role at a competitor (TT unable to pay competitive wages to attract experienced lateral talent from competitors) -TikTok is currently the bright/shiny platform, lots of excitement in the media
Cons
-Pay is not competitive and pay adjustments are uncommon / inadequate. TT considers a 3% annual increase very generous and promotions carry small increases -Work is a grind, no work/life balance -Leadership does not address employee issues. "We're looking into it" is the response to every issue/concern and perpetuated for months/years to no avail. Culture has taken a big hit this past year, most attribute it to our US GM. -All product development / decisions are made in China with very little influence from US teams. Product teams in US are feedback messengers and don't actually build or make decisions. -TT constantly leverages it's status as the hottest app as rebuttal for all internal issues/complaints
