ByteDance

• Projects are interesting and fast-paced. You will learn a lot working here.
• High expectations for senior engineers; you will have lots of opportunities to push your career.
• Friendly coworkers, the team culture seems pretty good. My team is very accommodating for me, who doesn't speak Chinese, and changes the primarily used language to English for a lot of projects that I am involved in.
• Lots of tools to get past the language barrier (Also see cons).
• Good compensation.
• Good benefits.
• Great onboarding process and internal tools.

Even if you work in a primarily English-speaking team, a lot of core documentation is written in Chinese. Even with pretty good translation tools, it can be daunting at first.

Need to have flexible work hours if your team works closely with teams based in China. Could have lots of meetings in the evenings.

The Mountain View office is not well developed currently.

Uncertain IPO.
