I applied online. I interviewed at ByteDance in Dec 2023
Interview
I had a "Peer interview" , felt like I was in an interrogation by the interviewer. The interviewer did not introduce herself, including both her name and her role in the company. Some of the questions were not really related to the role that I was interviewing for.
Although the HR was nice and transparent, the interview invitation email was in English and did not mention that the whole interview would be conducted in Mandarin.
