I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at TikTok (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2023
Interview
2 rounds coding 1 round hiring manager. Basic leetcode coding question but hiring manager is little bit annoying. He challenged all my background and it was suppose to be a system design round but he didn't ask me any technical stuffs. Why not reject me directly before I passed all coding round and all the interviews were midnight in US

I got pass first round but failed with second round. Second round is pretty intensive, had been asked about project related questions, coding and system design

Interview
The interview process consisted of multiple technical rounds, each heavily focused on data structures and algorithms. The questions were standard LeetCode-style problems, very similar to those frequently tagged for the company online, and required you to code an optimal solution live with the interviewer.
