I applied online. I interviewed at ByteDance in Nov 2022
Interview
Went through 4 rounds with various stakeholders only to get ghosted thereafter. The interviews were candid though, spoke about past experience, projects, scenario based questions. Overall easy interview but bad experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at ByteDance (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
I applied through a referral link and 3 months later a recruiter reached out to me. I first had an interview with the recruiter and then four rounds of interviews with the hiring manager, two team members, and one cross-fuctional partner. After all of this, the recruiting team told me that the position was put on hold. A month later another recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn to interviewer for the same position and they had to no idea that I had already interviewed for it. Afer reaching out to the original recruiter, I was told that I actually didn't have enough experience for the role. This feedback was never given during my initial round of interviews and I was left in the dark after the position went on hold. Communication was poor and the recuiting team was disorganized.
Interviewer is condescending and rude. Need to learn SQL etc prior to meeting. Expects interviewees to have no work life balance and work overtime without OT pay. Expected to watch really horrible stuff as moderator. But I wouldn't want the interviewer as a boss, he seems unreasonable and from his track record he tends to jump around companies to improve his job title
