...-Two appraisal cycles in a year- you perform well, you will likely get a hike -Spot bonus for best performance in a team/ department -If you're working in night shifts, you will get both side cabs. Early morning shift gets only pick up. -Night shift allowance- it can range from 300-500 per shift -It's not a typical office wherein you work in cubicles, you get your own work laptop and can work freely. -Reimbursment is pretty good, you show proof of purchase and company will reimburse you for accessories, table chairs, internet etc. P.S- ByteDance Gurgaon operates from 4th and 6th floor of WeWork Forum building, Cyber City.

Dislikes

Dangerous office politics- you will find yourself in treacherous waters. Tread carefully or else you may even end up a scapegoat for someone else's blunder. HRs- namesake morons, they hardly meet you. Forget your grievances, it goes unheard. Bottomline is, unless you work in the capacity of a manager, you are always at risk. If you intend to complain against someone in a higher position, FORGET IT.

Overall working experience is good, if the work location is also your hometown, else you’d spend a lot on accommodation and food. Also the perks are good at Bytedance

Dislikes

Salary Compensation- Your salary would be reduced on the Basic component and variable components would be more, HR’s would justify saying this is the company norms, “which is a big LIE” or a way to retain employees as when employees want to shift there hikes are based only on fixed and not variable. Yearly Hikes-Hikes are basic or bad at times but you get incentives which are part of your CTC and based on your performance they would increase from the base.
