Work fast with little structure and find the best way to help the company.
Good food and social atmosphere.
Great perks, such as free charging (while it lasted).
Good if you can speak Chinese.
Poor if you can't speak Chinese, as everyone needs to work with the China teams and you will be relying on auto-translate for your meetings. Stressful culture with high expectations but ill-defined processes to get there. Many nice, helpful people, however.
Delegate more autonomy to the US team and decouple it from the CN team if you want TikTok to survive in the US.

The recruiter reached out to me. The role that I applied for online was different from the interview that I got. - First technical round: Two rounds of technical interview. - Second round: Got first-round feedback one day after the first interview.
I had four tech interviews and two rounds of HR interviews. The entire interview process took about three months. The interviewers were very supportive throughout the process and open to sharing their daily working experiences.
