Hey guys! just wondering- what is the general reputation for Tencent in the bay area? I heard WLB is very bad and very much 996 (9a-9p, 6days/wk) - is that true? How is comp compared to faang? Specifically asking for non tech teams- any guidance is appreciated! thanks guys! yoe 7 tc 185 #career #tech #tencent
Don’t join and help support the evil communist CCP regime
Does that mean riot games is evil too?
stop begging evil CCP to buy your failing 737, ask your ceo cancel the order of thousands of jets. or they will steal your tech
I'll be curious to know as well but I have heard that 996 is normal. It's worsened by the fact that you may have to work China hours to communicate with your team and hq, meaning either rising super early or staying up late, and then never having a Sunday as it's Monday the other side.
Horrible culture. You feel like a foreigner in your own country.
Yes
Care to elaborate more? Or are you just agreeing with all the above?
It depends on which team you work in. Not all the team run the "996" mode, but this situation is real and common in some game teams, and there is no overtime pay, everyone just wait for the annual bonus.
tencent has good wlb, but tencent focus is not US market, comp wont be good
