I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (Shna Khula) in Jan 2022
Interview
Initial Screening: The first step is often a phone or video call with a recruiter or hiring manager. This conversation will focus on your background and experience, and help determine if you are a good fit for the role. Product Case Study: Many companies, including TikTok, will ask candidates to complete a product case study. This involves analyzing a hypothetical product problem or opportunity and presenting a solution. The case study may be completed on your own time or during an onsite interview. Onsite Interview: If you pass the initial screening and complete the product case study, you will likely be invited for an onsite interview. This may include several rounds of interviews with various stakeholders, including other product managers, designers, engineers, and executives. The onsite interview may also include a whiteboard exercise, where you are asked to solve a product problem in real-time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What motivated you to apply for a Product Manager role at TikTok? Can you describe a product that you launched in the past and its impact on the market? How do you prioritize feature development and determine which features to launch first? How do you gather and analyze user feedback to inform product decisions? How do you collaborate with cross-functional teams, such as designers and engineers, to ensure successful product launches?
Sunday interviews are not fun but reflective of the company culture. Recruiters seem to be reaching out for irrelevant job openings, and ghost even after a full onsite loop. It happens over and over again over the years.
Didnt allow me to continue when they realized I didn't have the total amount of years of experience they stated they required. They are the type of company to be stringent on those rules so dont apply if you dont have the exact experience stated
