I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at ByteDance in Dec 2020
Interview
The WORST interview experiences I had so far.
I had interview with Bytedance 3 times..
Basically all Recruiters and interviewers were ghosted without given any further update.. Some even told me to provide interview slots for next round, then literally disappeared after I replied to them. Which is very disappointed and make me wonder are they doing the same thing to other candidates and wasting people’s time pretty often?
Furthermore, I was wait until the last minute (in the interview) to realized that I was process with a totally different position. Please can you guys align together before reaching out to your candidates? Home come a company’s Recruiters can be such unprofessional...?!
ByteDance may providing great tech but if you don’t do something to change & improve the hiring process, this may hurting your own corporate branding in the end.
We sincerely apologize for your interview experience. We take our candidate experience seriously and value our candidates' time and effort; your experience clearly does not align with the standards we set for our recruiters. We will communicate with HR about your experience and will try to solve this problem for candidates in the future. We hope you will consider applying to other positions that may interest you, and please reach out to us at global-oc@bytedance.com if you have more feedback.
