They arranged 3 rounds of interviews with all team members, not the hiring manager. I felt like it was not the typical process because one of them said they were changing the direction of this role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A really technical case and how to solve the pain point.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok in Sept 2025
Interview
3 interview rounds total, 1st round with Manger on the team (not recruiting or hr), 2nd with Senior PM, 3rd with Product. Everyone was super nice and did a great job outlining and leading me through interview. Each interview was half behavior and half technical and 45 mins each. For behavioral, they drilled deep into each experience and asked situational questions. For my second and final round, interviews went 15 minutes over, typically a good sign about their company culture and your fit. However, after my final round, about two weeks ago, I have been ghosted after multiple follow ups, which is highly disrespectful to their candidates who spend hours prepping and actually interviewing. First round was also rescheduled 3 times on their end and actually pushed forward a week, so I only had 24 hours to prep.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral: Juggling multiple tasks, prioritization when people have different goals in mind or different metrics to track, and conflicting communication and de-escalation with a solution.
Technical: Favorite product and how to improve it, A/B testing
There are in total 4rounds including 2 rounds with senior peers and 1 round with +1 and round with HR, not that difficult. But I think the experience match is most important……..
4 interviews
- Recruiter screening
- HM interview
- Peer Interview
- Functional interview
Each round has around 45 minutes. Case and BQ are heavy, and the interviewers will leave 5-10 minutes for questions toward the end of the session
