I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (Raleigh, NC) in Jan 2022
Interview
2 rounds of interviews 30 mins each on the same day after you apply.
1 is with the hiring manager another is with the service lead.
The HR will email you for timings.
The communication is broken. There were interviewer changes on the day of the interview.
The interview went very well but I kept following up and they kept replying "we are interested" for the next 4 months. Until I gave up and stopped following up.

All questions were behavioral and around your resume.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at TikTok
Interview
Despite preparing thoroughly and performing well in the interviews, I was told the “fit isn’t there.” It felt as though the process was just a formality to meet local interview quota requirements, rather than a genuine attempt to hire. It’s disappointing to invest so much effort only to realize the company hadn’t seriously considered fit before shortlisting.
Recruiter reached out via LinkedIn. After talked with recruiter and a peer TPM, the interview with the hiring manager was scheduled 1.5 months later. Unfortunately, the recruiter left TikTok during this period of time. I only knew this because her TikTok email was no longer valid anymore. Completely waste time......
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2023
Interview
The whole process was fantastic. The interview was well organized. Interviewers are polite and professional. We had pleasant conversations. The result was great. I would recommend tiktok to other candidates. It seems to be a great place to work at.
