I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TikTok in Nov 2024
Interview
My process contains oa and four virtual interviews. Asked about test concept and other CS fundimentals. Easy to medium level Leetcode. Messed up the last hiring manager rounds so I didn't get the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a testing scenario like an user couldn't access a certain page, how would you approach this problem?
The interview process was smooth. OA + technical screen + HM. OA is a bit different from general leetcode but focused on testing. Technical screen is LeetCode easy/medium. HM round is chill but somehow the headcount is full so didn't get the job.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2025
