I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Singapore) in Nov 2024
Interview
1 OA, 2 Technical, 1 HR. The OA itself was about 2hrs, and then the technical rounds were 45 minutes each, which was broken down to 15mins of general questions and 30mins of coding questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode medium questions for earlier rounds and one hard question for the final round
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.
