I applied online. I interviewed at ByteDance (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jan 2019
Interview
The Interview process took 4 weeks time. I applied via Linkedin and with constant follow up of 2 weeks got their first call. They will have telephonic round first and will from Beijing and post that there will be second round which is VC round with normal conversation. The interviewer is rude and it seems he is not even prepared for interview and most of the time he is lost somewhere and half sleeping. About the 3rd round - was again with some HR official in a VC. Communication in English - Worst! I had tough time to understand chinese english. Interviewers looked confused and the questions were for freshers level. They were just like dummy and looked tired to speak even,Overall this is not the way they should interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1.Go through your experience. 2. What are the challenges in your role ( repetitive in all the rounds ) 3. Situational questions ( vague not composed rightly) in between in final round he was asking in chinese to his fellow colleque to translate the question - where do you see yourself in 5 years..so this is the standard of the interviewer. I dont think they should be hiring indians for their office in gurgaon. They need chinese speaking people. Also the salary range is below market standards.

Reach out by recruiting team for 20 mins phone screen followed by one hour virtual interview invitation with hiring manager. Hiring manager seemed to be reading from standard question set and interview experience felt unfriendly and lacked human touch.

Question 1
Standard set of competency questions. Interviewer seemed to be reading from a question set.
Phone based interview, I attended two interviews and was told I would be contacted for next stage but no one came back to me despite following up multiple times with them.
Very professional interview with interesting questions. I recommend that to everyone. Interesting company for internship and not only. Valuable time and consideration. I have been able to get a chance
