I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TikTok (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
Custom HackerRank questions that were pretty difficult. They use your one attempt for every application that you apply for. Definitely harder than some other coding interviews I have taken. Also takes about 2-3 months to hear something back.
Talking with Skip Manager with several behavior questions. No coding or system design involved. Questions like why you choose Physics as your major? What have you done to prepare for this interview?
Phone screen with a recruiter, which lead to a series of technical rounds with members of the team I interviewed with. Overall was a great experience. Although quite unfortunate that when the team was filled, you'll need to restart the whole interview process from square one if you were to interview with a different team.
