I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok in Jun 2022
Interview
One screening interview followed by a virtual onsite that consisted of an Android coding interview, general coding interview, and behavioral interview.
Onsite was rescheduled a total of 3 (yes, three) times before they finally settled on a time that could work for them.
Second interviewer was incredibly unprofessional and left the interview without a word before allotted time had even reached its halfway mark. Upon reaching out to HR, they claimed that everything was fine and I should simply start prepping for my next onsite interview.
