Pros

- A good knowledge of viral video and songs - snacks and food - transportation - Swags

Cons

- Don't waist your time if you want a real meaningful career ! - It's like a call center but for videos - Extremely poor salary between 22-24k for the job - This job will take your energy and your time - Poor working management (not qualified but there since the beginning apparently) - The management (supervisors) seems like they running their empire and they will get all the credit for your team good performances - The favouritism is the key of the management to rewards the wrong people - Lack opportunities - Working hours: sometimes 8am/5pm - 2pm/11pm or midnight - Working during weekend, sometimes only 1day off every 4/5 days - Difficult to have a social life - Exhausting job, executive, repetitive task - A huge turnover of the workforce - Watching thousands of video and moderate them every day, all the time - Your job is important for the App but you'll be nothing, just some human robot to help the A.I - Bonus once a year depending on your last 6 month work - Poor salary increase almost inexistent

Pros

Pay is level with industry and actual work is somewhat interesting depending on the team you're on

Cons

In my experience, career growth can feel very limited if you are not part of the dominant internal language and cultural network. A significant amount of important context, communication, and decision-making happens in Chinese, which can make non-Chinese-speaking employees feel excluded from key conversations and promotion opportunities. The environment did not feel as inclusive as it should be for a global company. Advancement often felt less tied to performance and more tied to whether you were connected to the right groups or able to operate fluently within the Chinese-speaking side of the organization. Over time, it felt like non-Chinese-speaking employees had fewer long-term career paths and were at risk of being replaced by people who could better fit that internal operating model. Things also move very slowly because employees are often given access only to the bare minimum needed to do their jobs. There is a heavy push toward using AI tools, but in practice it can make it harder to get help from real people. Instead of getting quick support, you often have to spend time going through AI bots or internal tools before getting a useful answer.
