I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at TikTok in May 2023
Interview
Two interviews got rescheduled, one interviewer was rude and condescending, three interviewers showed up late, and the fourth never showed up. Entire interview process seemed like a mess, at least the recruiters were nice though
It takes a really long time to schedule interviews with lots of down time in between. Interviews kept getting rescheduled too. Mostly conversational-technical stuff, some ds&a questions towards the end of the process.
The interviewer inquired about the projects mentioned in your resume, asking for technical details and related knowledge. They then proceeded to give you a Leetcode problem of medium to hard difficulty to solve, which you had 30 minutes to work on.
