I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2022
Interview
This is the worst interview I have ever had! The interviewed asked for questions from networking which qa automation development engineers would not be aware of! They need to change their interview pattern. When I asked why was the questions all towards networking side the interviewer answered that it’s part of the job that he does! It doesn’t matter what he does, it needs to have been a spec in the role description, or when the candidate is not aware of networking he needs to move on to test other concepts, which he didn’t ! Absolutely wierd! The interview felt more like towards a Dev/network engineer than it was like for a QA. No QA related concepts or questions were asked or tested!

Asked a lot of technical fundamental and practical situation. Didn't ask my experience or behavior question. Interview ended very quickly and got rejected. To be honest, it was a bad experience.
Process was smooth, interviewer was very collaborative and easy going. Good experience overall. Interesting set of questions related to Tiktok.
This was the first round and there would 3-4 more based on job requirements

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok
Interview
Terrible final interview experience, the manager asked a few behavioral questions that last around 15 - 20 minutes and ended the interview early. They even mocked a specific achievement on my resume and asked me why I even bothered to list it. I would recommend not interviewing for this company.
