The interview process
Described in candidates’ own words.
“First there was an OA, then about 4 weeks later, I had 2 technical interviews where I had to solve 1-2 medium-hard LeetCode problems. After that, the hiring manager did a behavioral/technical interview, mostly focusing on coding and going a bit deeper into my resume. Then came team matching, and finally the offer.”Candidate-reported process
“Three rounds with three different sides of creator management team managers. It focuses a lot on your business understanding of the business (TikTok Shop) and how you think it's developed. So”Candidate-reported process
“There were two interviews. The first was with the recruiter, which was very short and didn't provide much info for the presentation. There was a lot of ambiguity and not much clear direction on what to present in 30 minutes, even after asking questions beforehand. The second interview was with the hiring manager, who seemed unengaged and asked few questions, making the effort feel not worth it.”Candidate-reported processMore reports lockedRead 300+ more interview experiences
