I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TikTok in Dec 2021
Interview
Overall, the experience was not good.
I applied for the role through Bytedance career page but TikTok reached out after 1.5 months.
1st Interview
More of an administrative call with HR based in China. Felt that she have a checklist and she's just checking the boxes. Also, she was an hour late.
2nd Interview
It was pretty intimidating. There is a misalignment between the HR and interviewer on the location of the role. The interview started with an introduction, past experience, and case study.
When he asked questions, it seems like he's looking for a specific answer but when you asked to narrow it down he jump into the next question.
