I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ByteDance (Singapur) in Nov 2020
Interview
Had one of the most structured (and fast) interviewing processes at any company. The recruiter was authentic and transparent about processes and concurrent discussions happening about the role. Additionally, there were clear next steps and milestones throughout the process which made preparation for each stage to be extremely streamlined. I had a significant time difference with Singapore as I was based in Amsterdam while interviewing but the recruiter as well as the interviewers were quite accommodating.
