    Why would you join a company like Roku ? Their stock has declined NEGATIVE 14 % YTD and their culture is equally shit.

    Join TikTok. Their culture might be shit but you will do good $ exit.

      Interesting bro. Tell us about that team. I can share some chat too. Your VP of Search and Recommendations seems to be attacking people with his personal situation and he seems to be teaming up with his minions it seems.

      Lol. Yeah, my experience is good too. I haven't heard anything about that VP. Honestly, never even heard of that team. The only time it ever comes up is from Googlers posting about it.

      This thread is a fantastic show of what an alternative reality means.
      Impressive!
      I’m in S&R and never heard anything about an evil VP. Also I’m an IC so I never deal with VPs maybe that’s why ? 🤷‍♂️

  • lots of bad rep about TikTok but it’s quite team specific. I’m having a good time with visibility, language barrier (teammates translate and are very helpful), and would have a decent wlb if I wasn’t willingly sacrificing it for perf. Evening work hours are real though, same with feeling isolated in meetings.

    I’m on the fast track to L5 but I think it would be hard to get L6 here without knowing chinese.

    I have two teen girls. Tik Tok is toxic.
