I applied online, a recruiter from Bytedance contacted me a few days later to ask if I would like to interview. I had one video conference interview and received no further communication from the recruiter after that. The interviewer was clearly uninterested in conducting the interview from the start. He picked his nose throughout most of the interview and looked around the room a lot rather than looking at me. While I was answering his questions, he repeatedly interrupted to tell me that what I was explaining is not what he is looking for, and then he reframed the question to be more specific. He asked broad questions, but was actually looking for specific experience. He should have asked more specific questions to get the information he wanted. He appeared unprepared to conduct the interview. The interviewer was a director of engineering, which was an odd choice for a first phone interview for product management. Typically at most companies, engineering would become involved only during the final round of interviews, and the initial interviews would be conducted by product management. I left with a negative impression of how this company treats people. They should be putting their best foot forward with potential candidates. If this is how they treat candidates, they way they treat their employees is likely worse and Bytedance is not a place I would like to work.
