The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview process consisted of four rounds. It started with a peer deck interview where I presented my portfolio and past work. This was followed by two rounds with hiring managers, which focused on design thinking, problem-solving, and role fit. The third round was with a director, covering higher-level questions around design strategy and impact. The final round was with an HRBP, focused on behavioral and culture fit questions.
