Pros

- Working with some very smart people - Decent benefits - fast paced - interesting challenges - good name to have on your cv

Pros

- Colleagues are very capable. - Benefits are generally speaking above market. If you are a good performer, you are rewarded handsomely. - Technology used here is very advanced.

Cons

Please keep in mind that this is only applicable to G&E under TikTok Shop. 1. Constant re-org. Every quarter at the minimum. 2. Reason for #1 is because the strategy keeps changing. It's very difficult to have a long-term goal here when the goalpost keeps changing. 3. Long hours. 4. Very fast-paced. Everyone wants everything yesterday. 5. Because there are constant re-orgs, it is very common for your role to completely change. E.g. You come in as a Data Analyst, and you end up doing prompt engineering. 6. Limited career progression past managerial level as a non-mainland Chinese.
