Interview
I had 2 rounds of interview
1. With the HR (Online). Nothing much, just asking questions based on your CV.
2. Technical Interview (Online). Asked me some basic questions related to selenium, and the respective testing methodology. Followed with a technical coding question. As long as you practiced leetcode question(easy level), it should be good.
If things go well, you will get an email from Recruiter for next round. (Unfortunately I have yet to receive an email about my next step)
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ByteDance (London, England)
Interview
Series of 5 interviews, initial one with HR, then two separate ones on the subject matter at hand with your future peers, then an interview with the department head/hiring manager and a final interview with peers and hiring manager.
