I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
1 Online Assessment (4 Questions)
1 Interview
They take interviews 3-5 rounds based on your performance in the previous round.
Their process is quick with first interview in days after the recruiter communication.
Recruiter mail mentions that you have between 45 minutes to 1 hour for the interview which was very vague and I was expecting the interviewer would let me continue even beyond 45 minutes if required but the interview took a hard stop at 45 minutes with only minutes of debugging remaining to my coding problem.
So I had to solve 2 problems (medium difficulty) in approx. 20-30 minutes.
It would have been nicer if atleast the interviewer had mentioned at the start of the interview about his plan to hard stop at 45 minutes. With a variable time communicated in their recruiter emails, any candidate would expect that extra 15 minutes if they are just aa step away from the perfect solution.
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2020
Interview
Applied online, few days later, an interviewer arranged a phone call to get all here requirements. Mentioned details about interview process.
Round 1:(Coding) Basics leetcode Medium/Hard questions, time complexity and Q&A.
Round 2:(Coding) Same as that of round 1
Round 3: (DataBase) 2 Medium SQL questions and few descriptive questions on databases.
Round 4: (Behavioural) Standard BH questions, few questions on DB.
The process nearly took 8 weeks, after all this they have sent a rejection. The recruiter is too slow responding to your mails. The organisation is completely dis-organised and I guess the ban news really effected my result.
I would suggest not to waste your time on this company.
