First round interview is about resume deep dive, system design, and coding. The coding is relatively easy but the system design is hard. Interviewer is helpful to clarify the requirements.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TikTok (Vancouver, BC) in Jul 2024
Interview
HR screening->three technical rounds->TAP call->then maybe an offer call.
Medium Classic Coding question, combined with resume deep dive and domain knowledge and system design. Overall not that hard but the process can be really long.

Question 1
Tell me what is the most challenging part of your project.
Very weird. The interviewer from China are very bad. He always asked us question like he knows everything and very self-satisfied. Base the interviewer based in US is good. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
