The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2023
Interview
The interview process was very hard on my experience. It totally depends on the engineer who is interviewing you. On my case I got asked leetcode hard/medium questions. The behavioral part of the interview process was very light and I was able to chat and know with my interviewers while doing it.
2 rounds coding a lot of background questions very strange behavior from interviewer camera was off and asked questions in mandarin, leetcode medium-hard and very very slow communication from recruiters based in asia for an english role
OA - 1 arrays Medium, 1 Trie Hard. I had 45 minutes to complete that. I was able to do the medium in about 15-20 minutes but I am not that great with trie ds so I was not able to finish.
I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (Singapore) in June 2026
Interview
1 round of tech interview where i was asked basic tech questions and given a leetcode question to solve. total was around 1 hour. interviewer did not seem happy with my answer and time complexity.
