I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ByteDance (Kuala Lumpur) in Mar 2021
Interview
The process was smooth and streamlined. The TA team worked with my availability which made the timelines feasible and workable. For the interview, questions ranged from average to difficult.
Interviewed by someone who wasn't from the same function and was based in China. Had a translator present to help, but this was slightly challenging still as things get lost in translation I suppose. Interviewer said he would get back to me in a few days but obviously never did!
