I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ByteDance in Jan 2021
Interview
First they ask you to submit an assignment to build a simple fullstack application (backend, and with frontend as optional). Then they will contact you for online interview. The online interview was not related to the assignment a lot. The interviewer did not even turn on his camera during the online session.
