Pros

I have worked at TikTok since January 2020 and I absolutely love it. I was lucky to start in the office before the global pandemic this year hit. The office was a fun and inclusive place to be. I feel I have grown in my career and learnt so much since being here and it's only been 8 months. I have been so impressed with the way the company has adapted to a work from home culture during this pandemic. Especially inducting new employees into the company. The onboarding is seamless. As a current employee at TikTok during this difficult time I feel well looked after and I am proud to work at such great company. Pros: Innovative Inclusive Fun Collaborative Open

Cons

At times there can be information overload, however it keeps you on your toes. Some of the internal processes / systems can be tricky to navigate and get your head round.

Pros

Pay is level with industry and actual work is somewhat interesting depending on the team you're on

Cons

In my experience, career growth can feel very limited if you are not part of the dominant internal language and cultural network. A significant amount of important context, communication, and decision-making happens in Chinese, which can make non-Chinese-speaking employees feel excluded from key conversations and promotion opportunities. The environment did not feel as inclusive as it should be for a global company. Advancement often felt less tied to performance and more tied to whether you were connected to the right groups or able to operate fluently within the Chinese-speaking side of the organization. Over time, it felt like non-Chinese-speaking employees had fewer long-term career paths and were at risk of being replaced by people who could better fit that internal operating model. Things also move very slowly because employees are often given access only to the bare minimum needed to do their jobs. There is a heavy push toward using AI tools, but in practice it can make it harder to get help from real people. Instead of getting quick support, you often have to spend time going through AI bots or internal tools before getting a useful answer.
