Innovation at TikTok!

TikTok is known for our rapid growth – as we like to say, we build fast together. Not only does this mean we iterate our ideas quickly, but we're not afraid to think outside the box and support each other when we do. There is so much potential for growth as an individual and as a company.

We're innovative because our ideas come from everywhere and anywhere. "My first week here, I was told, 'there's a place for everyone here at TikTok'," says Chelsea Alahakone, a member of the Trust and Safety team. "I'm proud to say I see that value in practice every day. My colleagues come from a variety of backgrounds and therefore bring immeasurable value to the table with diverse perspectives, approaches and solutions to the same problem. It's only from this melting pot of new ideas that we are able to create and grow together."

Creating and growing together is the mission that drives everything we do. From day one of your career journey, you will have TikTok leaders who are willing to invest time and resources into all possible ideas – and the people behind them. Biannual performance reviews and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to help people set and meet their ambitious goals.

Employees who succeed at TikTok have a healthy appetite for change and a willingness to step out of their comfort zones and ask hard questions. For example, the Trust and Safety team works every day to keep TikTok a safe platform for all users through content moderation, policy making, and product management. When Alahakone was faced with an issue that resulted in a user's concern not being addressed in a timely manner, she asked herself "why do we have this process in the first place?" rather than simply "what in the process is broken?"

This reflects another one of TikTok's values, which we call a "ByteStyle"; the drive to "Seek Truth and be Pragmatic." From Trust and Safety employees like Chelsea, to Global Business Solutions teammates growing the platform's revenue, to the Marketing & Comms groups telling the ever-evolving story of TikTok, we don't believe in quick fixes, or doing something a certain way simply because it's the way it has always been done. "There is a constant aim to optimize our platform and our ways of working."
