I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TikTok (Chicago, IL) in June 2021
Interview
The interview process was pretty typical. First call with a recruiter, second call with a hiring manager, third call was a panel interview where you pitch TikTok to a client they let you select from a list. 3 rounds in total.

Behavioral Questions
*This process was smooth til the final recruiter got involved. I got a verbal offer and he has not responded since June 2021. Its currently October. He also didnt know what role he was supposed to be extending an offer for and asked me "whats the lowest salary you would accept?" after having already given this information to the initial recruiter. He also said "Oh wow, I didnt realize you were so far in the process! This is the part where we extend an offer, I guess I should have read your file, huh?" He has never followed up since, despite my 7 emails following up, and is the sole reason I would never work at this company.
