I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok in Jan 2022
Interview
It started out by introducing ourselves. And he asked me to introduce more about one of my projects.
Then it started one Leetcode problem.
In the end, I had plenty of time to ask him questions.
Phone screen where the recruiter asked questions about my background, why I'm interested in TikTok etc. Also asked a question about a technical project I've worked on in a team.
There was an OA and then 2 rounds of interviews afterwards. 1st round was technical with LC med and basic CS concepts, 2nd round was behavioral questions with hiring manager.
TikTok’s interview process usually starts with an application and recruiter screen, followed by an assessment or technical test, several interviews with team members and hiring managers, and a final decision or offer. The exact number of rounds depends on the role, location, and whether it is technical or non-technical.
