      Senior Site Reliability Engineer Interview

      15 Nov 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok in Oct 2023

      Interview

      Recruiters and schedulers were very good and accommodating. Most of the interviewers were great. 1 coding round involved two question : an LC easy-ish with binary search and a practical coding round parsing some logs. Interviewer was nice and engaging. System design was also fine. Easy problem but a lot of areas to talk through. The linux round was really bad. The interviewer sounded like a teacher scolding students. After every answer he'd ask "is it? is it true? is it correct?" I suppose as a way to trick or test you but it was so annoying that I stopped engaging and started giving short answers just to finish the interview. Extremely condescending. Aside from that the linux round is just trivia.
