The whole process is not in a timely manner. My emails regarding interview process and questions are all ignored. I did not get any reply from the team. The interview questions are not difficult, quite standard coding and project-based questions.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok
Interview
HR screening + 3 rounds of technical interviews. Each round include resume deep dive, focusing on past research experience and innovations in transformer-based models. Then a medium to hard level coding.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you made an innovative solution to a ML problem.
Questions cover implementing Breadth-First Search (BFS), and a coding question using the priority queue (didn't exactly remember the question). The technical question includes understanding BERT in machine learning, including how it is trained and the model architecture.
