I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ByteDance (Singapore) in May 2024
Interview
There were three rounds, each round varies in terms of what they are assessing you, it ranges from standard questions to system design to some computer science fundamentals. Overall it was quite fast and it took about 1 week to finish.
Pretty certain I answered the interview question correctly but the interviewer claimed I was wrong, it can be googled and its either a language barrier or they just wanted to fail me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
when summing the values of a 2D array in a nested for loop where the outer loop index counter is i and the inner loop index counter is j, what is the difference when you sum array[i][j] vs array [j][i]
A total of three rounds, excluding the last round with HR. First round is coding, second and third rounds were about linux knowledge and fleet management. Coding round was more like log parsing and processing rather than Leetcode-like questions.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ByteDance (Singapore)
Interview
Went through 3 technical rounds + 1 HR round. Question difficulty increased as the rounds progressed. 3 technical rounds spanned across 1 month, but had to wait a month for HR round. HR was responsive until the HR interview was finished, after which the HR started to ghost for weeks, and eventually stopped replying.
