Leetcode + system design. Nothing unusual. Leetcode questions u can find on blind 75 and standard system design question. Interviewer will provide hints for leetcode qns. I went through a total of 4 rounds
easy-medium question, but I did not fully finished it. You'd better ask clear clarification question and edge case. This could help you get through question easily. And i did not pass it.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2025
Interview
