I applied through college or university. I interviewed at TikTok (Singapur) in Jan 2026
Interview
Technical Interview
1. Leetcode
2. Past experience
3. CS Trivia
And then just talked about CS stuff in general. The interview is conducted in Chinese as well, and I believe for many of the roles it is expected that you can speak a communicable amount of chinese
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What did you do in your past job?
Follow up details on my past job
Coding interviewer hit me with "what technical work have you done?" questions that I wasn't expecting since I was focused on coding. Coding was Leetcode. Similar to most tech companies, they want to see how you think. Unfortunately they did not warn me that speaking Mandarin was a "nice to have" skill.
