I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Singapur) in Nov 2023
Interview
3 technicals and 1 behavioral with HR. It starts off with the technical. They will typically ask about your past experiences before jumping into the leetcode questions. Difficulty level is around leetcode medium.
3x leetcode medium with some behavioral mixed in. Hiring manager round asked a bunch of behavioral stuff and gave 15min at the end to do leetcode mediu. All leetcode asked were on the harder side of medium.
The interview process consisted of an initial HR screening followed by a technical interview with the engineering team. The technical round focused on backend fundamentals, including data structures, system design basics, and problem-solving questions. There was also discussion about past projects and experience. The interviewer was very nice, professional, and made the conversation comfortable and engaging. Overall, the process was smooth and well-structured.
