My interview process at TikTok began with an HR screening, where basic questions about my background and my interest in the role were discussed. This was followed by two technical rounds. The first technical round focused on machine learning questions, assessing my knowledge and application skills in the field. The second round included a coding test, which challenged my ability to solve problems using code effectively. Both rounds were designed to evaluate my technical proficiency and problem-solving capabilities in real-time scenarios relevant to the job role I was applying for.
