I applied online. I interviewed at ByteDance in Dec 2024
Interview
I went to multiple SRE interviews for different roles. My experience with non-Chinese interviews was excellent and fun as English is my main language. Chinese interviews are tough as using Chinese technology terms is not easy. It seems like most SRE roles here want to hire people who are good at Chinese so be prepared unless you are lucky enough to have the interviews in English.
