I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TikTok (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
The first step is an OA with 4 questions. The first three are classic leetcode style questions, the last one is a question that was probably created for the assignment. It seems like the examples given and the test cases do not follow the guidelines though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Dynamic programming and array leetcode questions.
A coding question and some ML theory questions, and then followed by some Q/A about the company. Overall it’s not very hard, but I didn’t get passed to the next round.
Recruiter screen then organised first technical interview. Told a few days before the role had been pushed into next quarter, then heard nothing subsequently. Reached out again and had the interview rescheduled to then be told 2 days before that it was cancelled as they didn't feel I had appropriate skills. Bit strange, felt symptomatic of a larger chaotic vibe I got from the company.
