TikTok reviews

- Revenue driven company, employees are replaceable - Pay: compensated based on “competence”, very subjective. Compulsory to provide 6 months payslip and declare any other benefits you’ve had in your previous job before offer is made. Not competitive, unless previous company paid high. Discrepancy in pay between team members even though there’s similar years of experience. - Company thrives on hype and fluff/show and tell. Noisiest people can get recognition but not necessarily be able to deliver. - KPIs can change mid way. Thus, affecting comms. - As with many big companies, townhalls are fluffy. All about shouting out big numbers. Before the meeting, primed to think that issues are going to be addressed, but barely any progress since the last townhall. - A lot of great initiatives, but lack of seeing through of projects. This leads to a lot of time wasted to kickstart the project. - Not much room for progression unless it’s a new team that has been created

- Employee Benefits are not as good as top tech companies in the bay area, but this is something the company is constantly working on. For pre-IPO the benefits are actually quite good. But don't expect Google/Facebook perks or all you can eat buffets quite yet. - WFH Flexibility: It doesn't seem like full remote work will become an option here at TikTok but there appears to be flexible work arrangements at best.
