I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Singapur) in Feb 2025
Interview
I had 2 rounds of technical interview with members of the team.
First round included a fundamentals sections for 40 mins with questions on memory allocation, image storage, networking and general introduction. The second half was a LC Medium.
Second round consisted of another similar fundamentals section and another LC Medium. As this was a Mobile engineer position they asked questions related to mobile development after I had already mentioned that I do not have relevant mobile experience but have done web development with some tangential projects for mobile.
As this was a graduate opening, I did not understand their stance of requiring experience in the exact mobile software/frameworks they used, which can be learned fairly easily on the job after already having some development experience.
