Very startup environment at TikTok, always busy with work and lack of leadership
Quality Assurance Analyst • Current Employee
Austin, Texas, United States
November 18, 2024
Pros: Gym/phone reimbursement and food stipend benefits.
Cons: Lack of organization is apparent. You have to train yourself and are expected to handle large amounts of work and projects, as well as assist other teammates with their projects. Leadership is very unprofessional; they pick people they like and throw everyone else under the bus by not providing leadership and preventing forward movement for the people they dislike.
