failed the first round, I was asked hard leetcode question, Didn't finished up the solution and didn't get a chance to come up with optimal solution. Interviewer is great, I am just not well prepared. It seems like tiktok like asking hard question.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Singapore) in Dec 2024
Interview
First, a recruiter messaged me regarding the opening, then she scheduled a call with me discussing past work and project experience. She asked me when I could have the interviews, and she scheduled the first two rounds on the same day. First round was with an engineer on the team, second was with tech lead. First round had discussion of a past project, some android questions, and a leetcode easy/medium problem. Second interview was similar to the first one, but questions were harder, included some java questions, and leetcode hard problem.
