I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ByteDance (Shanghái, Shanghai) in Dec 2025
Interview
It's terrible. And all interviewers are Karen.
I don't know why they decided to have an interview with me, on that they don't ever see my experience and skills. They only ask some general questions and general LeetCode problems. Then failed. It's a totally time-wasting process

I applied online. I interviewed at ByteDance (Bangkok) in Oct 2024
Interview
I had a disappointing experience during my interview with the hiring manager. The call took place while the manager was commuting, and the connection frequently dropped, which made it difficult to have a focused conversation. The questions asked leaned toward personal connections rather than evaluating my skills or potential contributions to the role. Overall, there was very limited opportunity for meaningful discussion regarding my qualifications and the position itself. I believe candidates would benefit from a more professional and structured interview process in the future.
