ByteDance interview questions

One of the worst interview experiences! HR got in touch with me via text to tell me I was shortlisted, and that was the only mode of communication used with this person who was primarily a coordinator - emails were sent only to confirm interview schedule, everything else was via text. Throughout my interaction with HR, communication was vague and often with missing information and I constantly needed to pose follow-up questions - more often than not, responses were delayed. Most of the time, I was requested to either do interviews on weekends or weekdays post 6pm. It speaks volume about the worklife balance (lack of!) in the company, and I was not at all impressed by the calibre of the interviewers. I withdrew myself from the process as we moved into the advanced stages. While I was interested in the company and product, the people I met through the process and how the candidate experience was, was so telling of the company culture.

The HRBP for India reached out to me directly on LinkedIn and gave a great feedback about my past experience and that I will be a great fit for the Account Manager position at Bytedance. I had 4 rounds of interview the last one being with the HR who discussed my salary expectations and Its been a month and I haven't heard back. what kind of a company takes all round of interviews and then don't respond back. If they were discussing my salary expectation which clearly meant I was through and they just had to roll out the offer. PATHETIC, UNPROFESSIONAL
