Tencent

Tencent works hard to influence their customers. When I realized how deceptive the AI was being used I decided to leave and pursue a company that has people's values at the core. I worked on the REDDIT inside TENCENT and the amount of social manipulation the company is part of is just overwhelming. They literally have psychologists on staff that focus on changing opinions of people so they can "help people become more happy". But in order to make people unhappy, you also will quickly figure out how to make them unhappy. In fact the AI takes a long Time to figure out the users, so a lot of the time the customer experiences high level of online abuse until the algorithm fully kicks in. Once the AI kicks in then it only stabilizes for short period before make critical mistakes again. All of these mistakes are at the expense of the employees and customers.

Tencent offers an outstanding office environment with state-of-the-art facilities, a comfortable workspace, and plenty of perks such as free meals, relaxation areas, and employee well-being programs. The company fosters a culture of innovation, providing employees with the latest tools and resources to perform at their best. Collaboration among teams is generally efficient, and talented colleagues make the work experience enriching.

However, leadership can be a major drawback. Many managers prioritize internal politics over actual results, leading to inefficiency and frustration among employees. Decision-making is often slow, with excessive bureaucracy hindering progress. Some leaders lack the vision and people management skills necessary to inspire their teams, resulting in high turnover and burnout. Additionally, favoritism and unclear career progression paths make it difficult for talented employees to advance based on merit.

As a NBA reporter, normally I have to work on each NBA game day at The Palace of Arburn Hills-- home arena of Detroit Pistons. The content of work is flexible, it's depends on what exactly happened that day. The hardest part is try to get one on one interview opportunities with layers to obtain some exclusive news and stores. To gain such opportunities it requires capacity to communicate with each teams' PR and to win players' trust, it is the hardest part but also my most enjoyable part.

Tencent is a high pressure, but highly rewarding company. I have some friends who work in it and often face the demands of working 996 (9am to 9pm, lots of overtime, and a 6 day work week).
But I think the work atmosphere needs to be adjusted. But I have to say that due to the company's reputation in China, many people are eager to work at Tencent and I hope it will change for the better.

As a product management intern at Tencent, the internship experience is undoubtedly a valuable asset in my career. At this globally leading internet technology company, I had the opportunity to personally experience a fast-paced and efficient work environment, while also deeply feeling the corporate culture of Tencent that is "user-oriented and technology for good."

Worked part-time when Tencent acquired PUBG's publish/hosting rights in China.  As a translator, I was tasked with skimming the "outside net" for PUBG content (mostly from youtubers) and providing subtitles n' video editing.  The supervisor wasn't very attentive and lacked drive? Just kinda felt lost most of the time.

I love basketball and I love NBA. It was great to find a work that I am interested in. I interviewed NBA players and published on average 3 articles per game gained on average more than 100 thousand views per article. Also I posted photos and videos on NBA online community, and managed Orlando Magic fans community.

Friendly workplace, people here have been with the company for a average long time. Good infra, clear responsibility. Overall, a work life balance place once established the certain knowledge. Top tier salary competence, though not that one gives the most competitive salary.


The internship experience was a valuable and insightful journey that provided a comprehensive understanding of the professional landscape. This internship was a transformative experience, equipping interns with the tools necessary for future success in their chosen field.

Expect to work overtime with no pay, but you learn how top products are made and contribute to the process. Mentors are patient and helpful, will guide you if you can't perform tasks. OK pay
