Pros

During my years at ByteDance, I have also better understood what "always start a business" really means. It means having an entrepreneurial mindset. First, you have to treat yourself as a partner in the product, not a worker. Second, you have to always focus on the business itself. In addition to engineering thinking, you have to use product thinking and business thinking to promote the development of the product.

Cons

I'm tired of working a lot of overtime.

Pros

The pay is competitive, and the overall compensation package is fairly good.

Cons

If you are not Chinese, career advancement can be significantly more difficult, especially when it comes to promotion opportunities and visibility with leadership. I previously worked in HR compliance at ByteDance. While large-scale layoffs may happen less frequently than at some other companies, the company may use many unusual or legally questionable approaches to pressure employees to resign or justify termination. Employees should be very careful, understand company policies, and keep written records of important conversations.
