I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at TikTok
Interview
Recruiter sends you an email to complete a screening questionnaire. I was surprised to see the email since I had applied very long back. First red flag. After that you get two 30 min virtual interviews with the hiring manager and someone else. No annoying behavioral "STAR" questions and no technical questions. Just causal 1:1 conversations, I actually really enjoyed both. Was told I did well, but got ghosted even after multiple follow ups. I guess that explains the negative reviews on here. I believe fault lies in HR team not the regular employees.

45 minutes 2 rounds. Could vary depending on teams and positions. The interviewer is nice and warm, is my line manager. We have great communication. The second round is her peers.
easy simple nothing crazy all okay, i was happy with it and i dint have issues in anyway. i think they want someone else though not necessary someone like me which is ok
The interview process was straightforward, The questions asked both pertained to past experiences as well as technical skills related to the role. The interviewer however seemed a bit impatient and wanted to get through the questions quickly
