ByteDance Work Experiences
4.0
Great Pay, Heavy Workload
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China
April 13, 2025
Pros: The benefits are good and the salary is high.
Cons: The workload is heavy, and overtime is always necessary.
3.0
Chinese speaking culture and long hours
Software Engineer • Current Employee
December 16, 2020
Pros: Flat hierarchy, decent compensation, and great benefits (insurance coverage, 18 days of leave to start out, and a goodie bag for every festive occasion).
Cons: A large number of their staff is based in China, and most of them are more comfortable speaking in Mandarin. Even documentation is in Chinese. Expect communication issues if you are on a global team but are not a Mandarin speaker.
Working hours can be long. From what I hear, salary adjustments are minimal, so what you get now might be what you get for the next few years.
