This was my second interview with ByteDance—the first was for an internship, and this time, it was for a full-time position. Overall, their interview process feels quite random, as you can be asked any type of question. It also seems like they expect fixed answers rather than engaging in open-ended discussions. For the coding session, the questions can range from LeetCode-style problems to NumPy or PyTorch-related tasks. I went through three stages, each covering a completely different topic, which makes the process heavily dependent on luck. One key difference compared to other big tech companies is that the interviewers weren’t particularly friendly; at times, they even seemed uninterested in the candidates. Also, they rarely ask behavioral questions which is quite common at other companies. On the plus side, their decision process is quite fast, so you don’t have to wait long for the results.
