Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How has your previous experience prepared you to succeed in the APM role and where can you see gaps between your skills and the requirements of this specific role?
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok in Jan 2025
Interview
It was a UK/London based role. Call with HR and then with the Hiring Manager. HR was nice but fairly robotic and impersonal. The Hiring Manager was stereotypical of what you'd imagine a TikTok employee would be which was surprising - very uninterested, consistently distracted by things happening around him, obviously reading emails etc. Insisted that they were a 'young and dynamic team', seemed to push a tech bro image but wasn't very convincing. The interview lacked basic respect (interrupting/talking over, distractions) and he seemed inexperienced.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at TikTok (Bangkok) in Oct 2024
Interview
The experience was terrible. The interview process spanned approximately four months. Initially, I was informed by HR that there would be 3–4 interview rounds; however, the process ultimately involved six interviews.
