I've applied to a few Strategy roles at Tiktok. The structure varies slightly depending on the opportunity, but generally starts with three rounds of interviews: HR call, peer interview, and hiring manager interview. There are potentially a few more rounds afterwards, incl. one with the department head.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Experience from past projects, and the thinking frameworks from those projects. They may also describe the business problems they're facing now and ask for your approach.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at TikTok
Interview
4 etapas, 4 entrevistas. 1 con recursos humanos 3 con el equipo al que pertenece la posición. Cada entrevista es distinta la primera suele ser con tu jefe directo, y luego el jefe de tu jefe y el siguiente nivel.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (London, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
Horribly disrespectful. Hiring manager joined 10+ minutes late then proceeded to be in a rush with bad connection. They asked to prepare a technical proposal for a case, yet the hiring manager was paying little attention. Half of the time she turned off her camera, which signalled she was not even listening. She then proceed with stopping me in the middle of my presentation, likely because she was busy and wanted to cut the meeting short. Asked me to share with her all my hard work of the proposal (feels like they just wanted to gather ideas. in this case why not just ask university students to do such?).
After a day or two i followed up with the recruiter, only to find out the email bounced back which was an utter shock. I had to further follow up by giving the person a call only to realise they left the business.
Whole experience was a total mess, which is a blessing in disguise as it is a big red flag of how the toxic working culture everyone talks about could likely be true.
