I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Moscow, Moskva) in May 2020
Interview
The first 3 interviews were great and hiring managers + professionals working at the company were nice and professional. That's until it came down to the last interview. He was late for the first call by 10+ minutes and then ended up postponing the interview for an entire week through a hiring manager having never apologised. He also made an inappropriate borderline sexist comment during the interview and tried to fish for insider information constantly typing at the same time. Extremely unprofessional and unethical to use the status of an interviewer to fish for information like that. I had already heard all about this through someone who interviewed there before but now I experienced it myself. Had they made an offer I would've rejected it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to disclose insider information (revenue, metrics, etc.) about the companies I've worked at.
Hr called me, asked me a few questions, intro, why you leave your current company, are you actively looking for new opportunities etc. The interview progress is smooth, and pass me to hiring manager round very smoothly.
5 stages, very long process but they do it quickly if they want you. good compensation, very good benifits. the interviews are also not horrid, they ask reasonable questions. oh my god why does it need to be so long
The interview process for the Account Manager role at TikTok was straightforward and professional. It began with an initial recruiter screen, followed by a more technical round focused on account management. The team provided clear insights into their structure and expectations, making the entire experience feel organized and transparent from start to finish.
