I applied through college or university. I interviewed at TikTok (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2020
Interview
I applied via my school's handshake and went directly to a technical interview. There were 5 problems, some were easy, some were very challenging. I think the spread of problems was a good indicator of personal ability.

Question 1
The interview questions were coding based problems that I am unsure if I can share.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at TikTok
Interview
I had an interview with Tiktok last month. The whole process went smoothly. The interviewer and I had a nice conversation. I also completed the coding question. I thought I would move to next round. However, they didn't move me and didn't give any response.
I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok in Dec 2020
Interview
4 coding questions in 2 hours that I had to compete on a specific day between certain hours. The questions were leetcode medium-hard, but TikTok centered so they were phrased as if I was working on a real problem there.
