I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ByteDance (Dubai) in Aug 2024
Interview
Process involves 1 HR interview and 3-4 tech interviews. The tech interview was pretty uncomfortable in my opinion. The interviewer has a very strong Chinese accent. The same went for the HR - and she seemed to be reading a script. Another annoying thing was very loud Chinese language in the background.
Besides the accent I was asked many questions about how my current company has things set up - architecture etc. Then one leetcode question - which unfortunately I didn't get right on the first try. Then the interviewer wanted to run it (c++ code) in Lark but we were met with Lark error that persisted even with my code commented out. I ended up having to share screen to show my program runs.
In the end was an easy sql question which I only understood on the third try because of the accent.
All in all it was a fairly easy interview, alas with the language barrier I'm now sure how you could work with these guys. I got a rejection 4 days later.

Question 1
leetcode 3. Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters
The interview process was fairly standard. They asked about technical skills, projects, and tested coding abilities. Overall, the communication went smoothly.
The interviewer was guiding throughout the process, helped debug the coding questions, and offered ideas to move forward.

Did 2 behavior questions first. The first one is describe a challenge, second one describe a team conflict. The interviewer didn't seem to care much tho. Then a leetcode medium question, linked list i remember.
