I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Mountain View, CA) in Jun 2023
Interview
The recruiter scheduled a 60 min round giving me almost 2 weeks for preparation before the interview. The interview went really well. Q1) Given a string, you have to shorten the string if it compresses. Ex: - compress aabcaaaade to aabc4xade. aa - 2xa is not short, aaa - 3xa is the same length, so you have to do it for any string less than 3.

I survived 2 rounds, at reject at last. - All interview from US with similiar background, it is kind of yellow flag, imho. - HR interview, basically why do you apply/what is your status etc. - Coding interview&Incident handling: Leetcode 121 - max profit(on hackerrank, execution expected) with no follow up/tell me a time you handle incident. - System design: Design system that takes executable along side with the cron schedule, execute tasks everywhile. Even though I thought I did pretty good, I got rejected, weird!
