I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok in Jul 2024
Interview
Had an initial technical interview with some basic questions about career experience, frontend technology, and an easy-moderate difficulty data structure question to solve with code.
The interviewer was friendly, but their English was not the best, so that made it difficult to communicate in an interview setting and understand what was required. They also weren't very familiar with the web-based tool we used for interviewing. Perhaps it would have been better if the question was in writing, because I wonder if I missed something with the language barrier.
However, my impression from the interview was that I'd done well and a next step would be possible, but I received a generic rejection email the next day, making for a frustrating and disappointing experience.
