I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at TikTok (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Sept 2021
Interview
A very nice interviewee called Mark. He had so much posisitve energy, and was very nice, that it made me feel it's a talk with a friend, not an interview. Very positive experience, the best HR I had interview with!
Kind of weird as the HR was late, didn't apologise and kept the interview for over an hour for very detailed business questions. This is weird because normally HR round is only for preliminary questions. What's more, she kept pressuring and asking who was my previous manager, and even asked me to think about it and write her an email to tell her that name. Isn't that supposed to be confidential ? I find the whole interview process quite weird.
I met with a someone from hr and the team leader. These meetings might have been separate rounds, or both of them might have been present at the same time - I don't recall the specifics. The interview was conducted online and lasted about 30 minutes.
