ByteDance’s Post

ByteDance is known to be a very data-driven company that engineers the “factors of production”, including employees and systems, to maximise efficiency. Such shakeoffs and restructurings in its China operations happen fairly frequently (e.g. they shut their entire gaming businesses at the end of last year). How much this culture can be adapted effectively into an Indonesian work environment is interesting to observe.

Come as you are~ I had an incredible time at #Lark (ByteDance) with my client, Terence Tea the Chairman of Accrelist Group! We enjoyed a delightful lunch in the company's "canteen" before diving into the world of Lark's cutting-edge solutions. During an engaging hour-long presentation and discussion, we explored how Lark could transform internal communication for Terence's company. I have no doubt that Terence was impressed by the passion, confidence, and expertise displayed by Team Mark Dembitz, Alan Chan, Charmaine, and 🔹 Shaun Lee Wei Rong As for me, this was my second visit to ByteDance's office, and I'm starting to understand why young people are drawn to the energetic atmosphere. The welcoming message on the wall, "Come as you are," sets the tone for a casual and inclusive environment. I couldn't help but notice some people are in shorts and flip-flops, making me feel a bit overdressed! Next time, I'll definitely be sporting my sports gear. I jokingly asked Mark if I could show up in my pajamas and hair curlers, and he simply gestured toward the wall - yes, come as you are! It is evident that nurturing a positive organizational culture is essential, and Lark (ByteDance) has certainly mastered the art of creating a dynamic and #inclusive work environment. But it begs the question ❓ - are more traditional companies missing out on the benefits of a relaxed and open workplace culture like the one at ByteDance? Anyway, it is an exciting time ahead for me, #TheConnector at Amayzing Connect Pte Ltd, to be considered a partner of one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the world !

I've been reflecting on the journeys of several colleagues from the music industry to tech careers. And what I noticed was a consistent pattern of apprehension and uncertainty about their ability to transition. This made me think about the misconception that tech careers are inaccessible to those without a traditional tech background. And that's when I realized the importance of redefining the narrative around career transitions. The skills honed in music – creativity, adaptability, and understanding audience dynamics – are invaluable in tech. In my growth, these skills were the cornerstone of my success at Twitch, helping me bridge the gap between creators and technology. My advice? Embrace your unique background. The diversity of your experience can bring fresh perspectives to the tech industry. Don't underestimate the power of your non-tech skills; they set you apart in the digital realm. Have you ever thought about transitioning to a new industry? What skills from your current role do you think would be valuable elsewhere? #CareerTransition • #TechDiversity • #SkillAdaptability

😞 Bad news keeps coming. 𝘽𝙮𝙩𝙚𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙃𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙨, 𝙎𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙨 𝙂𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝘼𝙧𝙢 𝙞𝙣 𝙈𝙖𝙟𝙤𝙧 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 As the competitive landscape of gaming evolves, ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, announces the closure of its gaming division. Not just a studio—the whole strategy is scrapped, following other social media platforms like Snapchat and Facebook. 🔍 A Closer Look: ByteDance's retreat is marked by layoffs impacting several hundred employees and the halting of projects currently under development. The gaming industry has witnessed ByteDance's attempts to seize market share with acquisitions like the $4 billion purchase of Shanghai Moonton Technology (Mobile Legends) in 2021. Now, they're considering the sale of such assets. ByteDance is retreating to a defensible position and focusing on long-term strategic growth, primarily in areas such as short-video content and e-commerce. 🚀 What's Next? Chinese gaming giants Tencent and NetEase emerge stronger and can pick up talent and assets from ByteDance. Developers need to seriously consider whether to throw their lot in with social media platforms. I personally believe 100% in 360-degree IPs including social media, gaming, music, and cinema. However, for companies like ByteDance to not just invest in but also control gaming studios requires a long-term vision, deep pockets, and decision-making power left to the experts. 💭 Let's Discuss: Is Netflix next, or are these two very different scenarios? #ByteDance #GamingIndustry #CorporateStrategy #TechNews #JobMarket #DigitalTransformation #Innovation https://lnkd.in/euGZkMVY
