I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TikTok in July 2024
Interview
There were 5 rounds - hr screening, peer, hiring manager, xfn teammate, hrbp. I finished all rounds for 2 long months only to know after 1 week of the hrbp interview that they chose another candidate who is more senior.
Interviewer was not focused during the interview. Was not very interested and seem indifferent. Did alot of research on it and gave plenty of examples on how I can contribute to the role but seem like he was not convinced
Applied -> Phone screen -> Manager Screen
Did not end up getting past the manager screen, but it was overall nice conversations around the role, past experiences, and going over the program management process.
