...-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.

Unexpected job policies: stay or switch?

I recently switched jobs with a 48% hike, and my current in-hand salary is ₹35K. But after joining, I realized a few important things that weren’t mentioned during the interview. 1. No Phones or Bags Allowed – We have to keep them in lockers, which I wasn’t informed about before joining. 2. Working Saturdays – HR said all Saturdays are working but assured that one Saturday off per month would be introduced soon. I can't see that happening anytime soon 3. Phone Policy Confusion – When I asked HR why this wasn’t discussed earlier, they said it’s only for two months and won’t be the case at the new location (which was discussed earlier). But some old employees say the same rule applies there too. 4. Leaves – We get 21 paid leaves a year. I’m already thinking of switching. Would it be too soon to leave within 3 months, or should I stay for at least 6 months? Also, since I just got a good hike, how much can I ask for in my next job?
