I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Singapore) in Jun 2022
Interview
I did five rounds of interviews with TikTok, only to receive a rejection with zero feedback. The interviews were mainly conversational on fit and past experiences. First round was with HR, second round was with hiring manager, third round was with a team mate, fourth round was with a manager from different team and final round was with HR again.
Interviewer was not focused during the interview. Was not very interested and seem indifferent. Did alot of research on it and gave plenty of examples on how I can contribute to the role but seem like he was not convinced
Applied -> Phone screen -> Manager Screen
Did not end up getting past the manager screen, but it was overall nice conversations around the role, past experiences, and going over the program management process.
