I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok in Feb 2025
Interview
The OA had two problems: one required implementing BFS, likely involving graph traversal, shortest path, or level-order processing. The other was related to binary trees, possibly dealing with traversal, recursion, or tree modifications like lowest common ancestor or subtree calculations. Both were quite challenging, requiring efficient algorithms and strong problem-solving skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Data Structure/ Algorithm/ Object Oriented Programming
Asked about basic backgrounds. Solve 1 coding problem.
Got rejected after 2 round. One of the question is about bfs search. The other question about math, recursion, divide and conquer. Both question about medium level of difficulty. Interviewer was nice.
