I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Vancouver, BC) in Aug 2024
Interview
I asked my friend to give me a referral for this position, and then I received the online assessment. After that, I encountered some behavioural questions. The result is still not generated.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
With some behavior questions during the first interview
Interviewer was very nice, but a bit hard to understand. He asked questions on past projects that I worked on, especially the technical aspects. He also asked questions on frontend theory, and finally asked a coding questions which was done live.
5 rounds interview. Did leetcode and explain before the real questions. Questions were mainly about what you have done before. Only 10% questions were about the frontend. Will send email to schedule the interview time, but mostly at night
The interview process typically starts with a HackerRank online assessment. Candidates who pass move to LeetCode-style data structures and algorithms round. Next is a Frontend/React coding round, where candidates build UI components, manage state, handle events, and discuss performance. Finally, a hiring manager interview assesses overall experience, collaboration, and fit with the team and product.
