Interviewed with the manager and 15 mins in the interview the manager had to run to get a uber... Not sure if it was me or the "hustling" culture of the company.
Positive experience
Average interview

I interviewed at TikTok (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
A primeira entrevista é tranquila, comigo eles pediram para falar mais sobre mim, pediram mais detalhes sobre as minhas experiências/projetos, fraqueza e como faço para lidar com ela e umas perguntas do tipo "como você faria se tivesse que realizar uma entrega com o deadline muito curto" ou "o que você geralmente faz quando não tem certeza de como fazer x coisa".
Took about six weeks from start to offer, longer than I anticipated. The process involved a technical phone screen followed by two rigorous coding rounds and a final onsite interview. I tackled questions on defining success metrics and detecting suspicious transactions, along with writing pseudocode for self-attention and cross-entropy. Halfway through the coding round, I realized that the problem I was working on was straight from a PracHub prep session just days earlier. Overall, it was a challenging yet rewarding experience, and I’m excited to join the team.

Question 1
Define success metrics for a new product and detect suspicious transactions
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.

A really technical case and how to solve the pain point.
