Question 1
Interviewers mostly deep dive into my resume/projects
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ByteDance (Ciudad de Mexico) in Aug 2025
Interview
una entrevista pactada via remota debido a que el entrevistador estaba en china.
te piden utilices su propia herramienta llamada Lark, la cual es medianamente buena, pero en mi caso la persona que me entrevistaba tuvo dificultades y no termino la entrevista, pero aún así no le importó.
debido a que su prioridad es que les entregues nombres de canales (en este caso), que les comprarían practicamente de inmediato su producto (Lark), sin siquiera estar en méxico.
