My interview with the Talent Acquisition team went well. The questions were quite standard—why I want to join TikTok, the types of KPIs I’ve worked with, and the reasons I’m considering leaving my current role. Next was the interview with a peer, another Team Lead. He seemed nice, but he joined 15 minutes late and didn’t turn on his camera. I had read several negative reviews about the TikTok interview process and thought, “That won’t happen to me.” Well, it did—and it might happen to you too. During the peer interview, he asked about quality metrics, how I handle underperforming vendors, and similar operational questions. My advice: keep your answers concise and to the point. Based on my experience, they don’t seem particularly interested in long-winded STAR method responses.
