I was reached out to buy recruiter and at the time she reached out to me I was traveling so I was not able to connect immediately we schedule time to speak about my background and how it would fit into the role at hand when I Was scheduled to return. Before even the day that we had scheduled to connect she aggressively reached out several times back to back asking about with my whereabouts and other irrelevant information - I was actually extremely sick at the time so there was a lag in response however I used all my energy to make sure that we were able
to connect. We spoke on a Wednesday evening she said that I would be contacted by the actual sales individuals at the company by no later than Monday. She was not able to give me much insight about the role and her English was very broken which made it simply hard for me to understand her. She reaches out to me several different times over the weekend about information that was not time sensitive Monday comes and goes and until this day actually she’s not made any follow up contact even the decency to say that I was not a good fit. So unprofessional and social huge waste of my time truly disappointing.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ByteDance in Apr 2018
Interview
It was an online interview. The interviewer first asked me to introduce myself and asked me some relevant questions on my resume. He wanted details about the algorithms used in my projects. Then he asked some technical questions.

Questions about my projects listed on the resume.
Assume you have a function that generates 1~5 with equal probability, how do you design a function to generate 1~8 with equal probability?
How do you find the index of the target number in a sorted array? What if the array is rotated like [3,4,5,1,2]?
