I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at TikTok in Jun 2021
Interview
Invited to join the interview by a recruiter via email. After that I received an invitation to have a video call with a software engineering team member. After background introduction, the interviewer keep asking about my current company's business flow and logic. Its make me feel like he is a spy from the competitor and out of sudden the interviewer share me a technical questions in Chinese and wanted me to solve the question immediately (in pseudo code).

Had a great experience with the recruiter as she was very polite and helpful. When it came to the phone screen; however, the interviewer was rude, barely communicated and just seemed like he didn't want to be there from the start.
