I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ByteDance (Singapur)
Interview
Several interviewers followed a fairly standard interview structure, with many questions being repeated across different rounds. Topics such as past achievements, key challenges, and market understanding came up multiple times, which made parts of the interview process feel somewhat repetitive rather than progressively deepening the assessment.

Question 1
They mainly focused on standard interview questions, and some interviewers repeated very similar themes across different rounds. The questions frequently revolved around past achievements, key challenges faced, how problems were resolved, and understanding of the market and industry, which came up in almost every interview stage.
