I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at TikTok in Jun 2021
Interview
Process was 11 interviews over 5 months. Most were 1-on-1 interviews 30-45 minutes long. 2 were case studies. 1 was a case study and 1-on-1 presentation the other was for a panel. Recruiters switched 4 times. 1 recruiter was entirely unresponsive and slowed the process to a halt. Many teams seemed disorganized and interviewers we nearly always late.

Question 1
If I talked to your last boss, what would they say is one thing you need to work on?
We appreciate your feedback and sincerely apologize for the disorganization and lack of responsiveness that you experienced. We hold our team to high standards of communication and respect, but it's clear that we have room to improve. Please know that your experience was not representative of our recruiting as a whole, and we hope that you'll consider other roles at TikTok that may interest you. If you have additional feedback, please contact us at global-oc@tiktok.com to continue discussing how we can improve this process for future candidates!
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at TikTok (Dubai) in Mar 2021
Interview
Total have 5 rounds, after the CV passed, you will need to have three rounds then final round with HR
The application is still showing interviewing , hopefully I can get the good result soon
Most unprofessional interview process I've had in a very long time. No reply from the recruiter despite completing the full process - total waste of time. Very concerning as to how they are running their business strategy
