      Security Engineer Interview

      27 Feb 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mountain View, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2023

      Interview

      Completed all 3 rounds of interviews and then got ghosted. I would say it's a complete waste of time in my opinion. The work also seems quite ambiguous when the interviewers describe what you will be doing on a day to day. I would recommend looking for security engineering positions elsewhere.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Asymmetric encryption, windows vulnerability questions, dumb scenario questions

      Security Engineer Interview

      11 Dec 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (New York, NY) in Nov 2021

      Interview

      Recruiter screening followed by technical screening by a senior hiring manager. Did not make it to the next phase which Im guessing would've been another series of interviews. Process was super slow and response was nonexistent.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Generic security engineering questions. No need to dig into the details
