I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ByteDance (Kuala Lumpur) in Apr 2020
Interview
I applied 1 week before the interview. Online interview was conducted and there were 2 interviews. Only 1 was asking me questions and the other person did not turn on the camera and microphone. No questions about career aspiration, achievement, etc. All the questions were circling about how am I going to deal with 3rd party recruitment agency. That got me confused with the role I was applying.
1 week later, I received a phone call stating that I will receive my offer after confirming my salary expectation and the laptop will be delivered to my doorstep. Another week later, I still did not receive my offer and the person who called me did not reply to my text. I sent an email the next day morning and received a text at night stating that my salary expectation was too high and therefore my application will not be moving forward. I mentioned that my salary was negotiable and till now did not receive any reply. It was 1 month ago.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ByteDance (Singapore)
Interview
Several interviewers followed a fairly standard interview structure, with many questions being repeated across different rounds. Topics such as past achievements, key challenges, and market understanding came up multiple times, which made parts of the interview process feel somewhat repetitive rather than progressively deepening the assessment.

Question 1
They mainly focused on standard interview questions, and some interviewers repeated very similar themes across different rounds. The questions frequently revolved around past achievements, key challenges faced, how problems were resolved, and understanding of the market and industry, which came up in almost every interview stage.

The whole process is smooth, and the scheduling is prompt. The interviewers are nice and welcoming. However, I was a little surprised and was not prepared that some of the interviews were not conducted in English.
