The interview problem is poorly chosen. I gave a first solution very quickly after hearing the problem, Interview gives wrong solution after keeps telling me there’s a better solution than the one I wrote.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TikTok (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2022
Interview
At the beginning, they asked me about part of my resume, the language used and some details about the project, and then took a less recently used question, and finally asked me if I had any questions, and then ended 10 minutes early. I don't feel good and they don't seem to care about my background, the problem I solved. I don't think they want to listen to my understanding and answer questions. What I want to say is that if you don't want to recruit me, you can reject me directly, and you don't need to interview me like you want to meet certain minimum requirements.
