Question 1
Why are you interested in this position? What is your 5-year career plan?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at ByteDance (Peking, Peking) in Jan 2021
Interview
The interview process was nice. There are 4 rounds in total. The first two rounds are for research and coding, one round for professional knowledge and one round with the group director.
Interviewer spoke way too quickly. Not enough time given for complicated code design. Interviewer was late and busy, also rushing to go for his lunch. Be prepared if you are having an interview with ByteDance. This was in ChengDu China
