I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at TikTok (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2023
Interview
Very easy and straight forward with great communication throughout the process. I think they do a really good job keeping you informed through the process on how you are being perceived and how to focus in future rounds

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok in Mar 2024
Interview
The entire interview process was very strange. The recruiter was an hour late for the phone screen and didn’t let me know. Then on interview day, the hiring manager showed up late and asked very vague general questions about my work. There were a few red flags - 1. how impersonal the whole process was 2. the lack of personality the interviewer showed throughout 3. the language barrier between myself and the interviewer. Based on this experience, I am clueless to how TikTok is achieving the success they are having and I will not apply again.
