I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at TikTok in Sep 2020
Interview
A lot of very quick interviews (5) that covered the same questions each time. Most of them happened with the team members from the Chinese head office so quite difficult to schedule. Not to delay the process any further, had an interview at 6am (UK time).

Question 1
How would you reduce false positives in our content moderation system?
They arranged 3 rounds of interviews with all team members, not the hiring manager. I felt like it was not the typical process because one of them said they were changing the direction of this role.

Question 1
A really technical case and how to solve the pain point.
There are in total 4rounds including 2 rounds with senior peers and 1 round with +1 and round with HR, not that difficult. But I think the experience match is most important……..
