I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2020
Interview
Started with an OA, then potentially 3" phone interviews", I believe they were done over codesignal, (dependent on passing each one) with engineers. I only got to the first phone interview. It was around 10pm for me, as the interviewer was located in China. Additionally, the interviewer didn't speak perfect English, so it was a little hard to communicate at times.
