I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TikTok in Feb 2024
Interview
HR round was good, but the next round with a backend engineer guy is really terrible. He's not even introducing himself to me at the start, he asked a few questions about my past exp, followed by a simple system design case, then a leetcode kind of question which I managed to finish with a working solution in time. He didn't communicate at all, barely speak while I was explaining my thought process.
He didn't leave much time for me to ask questions, I only ask 2 qns and then he immediately says "if no more questions, i'll hang up the call" and immediately end the meeting. So rude.
I didn't even know his name.
I ask HR and got the rejection the next day. So bad I think I did well.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Sídney) in Oct 2023

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Singapur) in Feb 2024
Interview
Received online assessment, contained 2 MCQ and 3 Leetcode-style questions. MCQs were doable (network-related) but technical questions were medium-hard. Questions were simple on the surface but required a different technique that you wouldn't think of at first glance.
