I applied online. I interviewed at ByteDance (Austin, TX)
Interview
Took Hacker Rank test after applying. Was my first one and did not perform very well. Questions were harder than average compared to other Hacker Rank screenings I have done in the past
Got invited to do the coding challenge. Was extremely challenging, I don't see how it could feasible be solved in the short amount of time given. Four questions in 2 hours, I finished 2,5 of them.
