I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ByteDance (Pekín, Pekín) in Mar 2018
Interview
It was an online interview. The interviewer did not ask me any specific question. Basically, she just asked about my “understanding” or my opinions on some trending apps developed by them. So I talked about my opinions on some of the trending apps they developed and compared them with their analogs developed by other foreign companies. After I finished my talk, she literally rejected me on the spot by saying that I was not fit for the position and that my logic was confusing and my thinking was not clear. Although she gave me a brief explanation after I asked why, I still think the overall experience is kind of unpleasant. First, the questions she asked were ambiguous and unclear, neither did she intend to direct her questions in a more specific way. Second, I did not feel I was having a nice conversation. I did the talking for the most time and she seldom responded to my answer. Her phone kept ringing during the whole process. Third, she literally turned me down immediately on the spot. The reason she gave was also ambiguous and confusing.
