Pros

ByteDance is known as a very generous employer. It offers highly competitive pay, a well-rounded benefits package, and also has plenty of room for career growth.

Cons

Some teams and business tracks lack proper long-term planning, and more importantly, people who can actually turn plans into reality. Cross-team collaboration can also feel quite aggressive. Instead of being able to focus fully on technical work, engineers often have to worry about taking on extra work that belongs to other teams — just to make themselves look high-performing.
