Pros

Nice offices Free snacks Nothing more to say

Cons

Interview: all lie!!, They promise to give you 2 weekends off per month, but in the end, they just give you one weekend off per month! No social life. You have to work on a bank holiday, but Tik Tok said that the benefit to working on bank holidays is to request holiday whenever you want, lie!!!, because when you want it to request the holidays, there are no days available, because other people want holidays the same day as you!. You can't swap shifts with other colleagues, basically, you need to work when they want, at the time when Tuk Tok wants. Lack of opportunities: you will do 1000 videos every day, very monotonous job, not learning skills at all, if you are in this department is very difficult to move into a different department, all you see is people dancing every day, every 2 minutes. Management: poor management and even more if you have a bad team leader who only focuses on numbers 98% accuracy. (to choose the right policy for the video). Contract rights: The contract says you are under 6 months probation period, but they don't respect this time.

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.
