Series of 1:1s with researchers and the hiring manager. Informal presentation in a 1:1 environment. Similar to other tech hiring companies, questions involved research methods, past projects, why you're interested in the company, etc.
1 HR call, 3 interviews, and final HRBP interview. It took over a month still waiting for reply. Recruiter was very kind but the entire process is too long and difficult.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ByteDance (Taguig) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interviewer was rude and says unnecessary feedbacks. They also didn't speak English very well so it was hard to understand them sometimes. The questions are all behavioral and situational.
