Pros

Culture: I really enjoyed the company culture at TikTok. It is very inclusive and generally very flexible, although that could depend on the department you are in.

Most people are very friendly and easy to approach.

Perks: There were also a lot of non-salary related benefits, such as free snacks, coffee, and lunch on site.

Office: The office is super modern, in a good location, and convenient.

Cons

Career prospects: Depending on the department and location, there is very limited and little or I would even say no room for growth in terms of career progression. Only a handful of people get title changes or promotions. If you get stuck in a role, you could spend over 2-3 years there without getting a raise or being promoted.

No opportunity to gain technical skills: Again, it depends on the department, but there tends to be very little investment in employee education and opportunity to learn more technical skills on the job. This could close off a lot of future career opportunities for someone who is not able to progress further from a position.

Advice to Management

In order to retain employees and attract future talent, it might be more beneficial to provide more career opportunities for existing employees internally.
