For anyone that works in the TikTok Bellevue office could you share what the culture is like? Are there assigned desks and is everyone in 5 days a week? Is there still free lunch/dinner? TC: $200K
Horrible. A lot of shallow, insecure people who are territorial over desks, office snacks and drinks, yet can’t clean up after themselves. Free lunch/dinner is somewhat limited. Not much of a culture to speak of. Lot of tryhards and career freaks
Damn 😭 sounds like a free for all hellscape
When I was there, the Bellevue office chat group was well known for being one of the more toxic and petty office chats. Literally everyday people b*tching about not enough desks, people stealing desks or snacks, bugs in food. Going into the office was worse. Bathrooms were gross. People trying to micromanage you that you didn’t even work with. It was insane.
Bellevue office only requires 3 days per week RTO right now. TikTok tends to have two types: tryhards, who work all the time, and hiders, who play the authoritarian culture to their advantage to get away with as little work as possible. Many people in the latter category just clock in and leave to meet RTO reqs. People in the former are there much longer.
U better stay up late to have meeting with ppl in China
I do that at msft too
I’m a night owl and can’t sleep so I don’t mind lol. Amazon QA’s have me up at 3 AM so don’t think this can be worse
