3x leetcode medium borderline hard across three different interviews. First two interviews had 10-15 min at the beginning for random cs theory and behavioural. Last interview had a bunch of behavioral and only gave 10-15 minutes at the end for the leetcode question.
HR call was smooth. Standard behavioral questions and motivation to move from existing position. HR will typically get back within a week if selected for next round. Did not reach technical stage due skills mismatch
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Sídney) in May 2024
