Went through the interview cycle for TikTok. Was informed yesterday that they will be making an offer to me on a PM role. The overall responsibilities and scope of the position are pretty interesting. I’m concerned though over all the negative feedback as my experience didn’t seem that way. Toxic companies I’ve worked for in the past I usually pick up through the interviews, but this one I didn’t. My Hm seemed super chill, but knowledgeable on pushing things through with the right POCs.

I have another official offer but was informed they will out compete the other offer I have which is pretty good as well.

Is wlb/toxicity very team dependent or company wide?

    Came from Amazon as well, maybe we’re conditioned differently, but I think it’s been a smooth ride. Execution isn’t nearly as strong as Amazon, but it’s scaling fast. You’re only exposed to people complaining on Blind, because no one’s going to come on here and post “TikTok is good and chill 👍” as that wouldn’t spark any conversation or engagement. We’ve hired so many people lately too, so you can just blend in if you want lol

      It’s crazy how subjective the TikTok posts are on blind as every team is different. I’d also question the work ethic if the folks who speak negatively of any company frfr 🤦🏿‍♂️

    Been with the company for 3 years but my role is pretty isolated from any other offices. I work in MTV office. Never worked for internet / social media company before so I learned a lot. No regrets.

      I like the freedom and autonomy but that has more to do with my manager than the company itself. Doesn’t matter which company you work for it’s your direct manager that matters the most.

    What race are you? Can you speak (Mandarin) Chinese?

  • While your interview experience could be good, don't judge this company based on that. The company culture is fundamentally screwed. Every single decision is made from China and when you go through couple of perf cycles, you ll know it more. Stingy with everything, bad policies and lot of late night and early morning calls.
    China treats US employees like shit, people are leaving this company like flies.
    Read more about the culture on other platforms. I completed 1 year with difficulty and cannot wait to get out.
    Don't be convinced otherwise.
