I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at TikTok (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Depends on your interviewer, can be good or bad. First interview was very insightful, kind, and helpful. Second interviewer was awkward, and quiet during interview and seemed rush to get to his next meeting. Note: most interviewers seem to have a chinese accent which may deter understanding.

Interview
- 2 coding: medium to hard problems
- 1 system design, using hackerrank whiteboard
- 1 team match
I did not feel respected in the last team match round, the interviewer was arrogant. It was not a time for mutual understanding, but an interrogation. When I was noticed that I did not passed the team match round, they didn't even offer a chance for another team match interview, which is really screwed up.
