I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Seattle, WA) in Sept 2023
Interview
Bad experience from interviewer, who asked personal question with no relation to the position. Unprofessional interview for absence midway to go for toilet. But HRs are in high efficiency and professional working manners.
