Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ByteDance (San Jose, CA) in Nov 2023
Interview
1. HR 15min
2. 2 Technical Interview
3. Final
2 technical interview was leetcode easy/medium - 2 python interview (they are definitely hiring someone with software engineering background with the focus of data - interview would be easy for regular software engineers, but pretty hard for someone with analyst or data scientist background IMO)
I accepted job offer from somewhere else and so I actually didn't end up going through final interview.
pros: they move fast
cons: 5 days RTO (they seem to be pushing this heavily)
