I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok in Aug 2023
Interview
8 rounds starting with recruiter's screening call, peer interviews, one panel interview with a presentation to the hiring managers, and a final interview with the HR Business partner. At the start, TikTok estimated a 4 week timeline for the entire interview process but it took all of 7 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me about yourself 2. Why TikTok? 3.What is your understanding of the sector? 4. How would you approach partnerships in this role? 5. Develop a business case for a portion of the market
Interview was decent. Interviewer was honest and detailed about scope, Questions are the usual and case study on the spot. Recruiter was slow and not very responsive or helpful during the whole process.
The interview process was quick and efficient. I didnt feel like the questions went into much depth. The interviewer was polite but didnt really have much to say about company benefits.
Applied for several non-tech positions and got reached out for sales role. Had HR pre screening call first, then with hiring manager, then with 1 teammate and another 1 cross-functional team member, then the HR for offer negotiation.
