I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
Communication was very good at beggining, then later I have learned they was just trying to complete the selection process with my application.
My resume was the 5 of 5 so they could start their evaluation.
Waste of time for me and other 3 applicants.
Technical questions were interesting. Interviewer was very friendly and I would say it does need experience to answer the technical questions. It was a good experience to see how tiktok does their interviews
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at TikTok (New York, NY) in Nov 2023
Interview
applied through referral: behavioral questions mostly during the 1st round and also no technical question's. The questions asked were pretty normal and was not hard at all. The 2nd round was technical questions.
