I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2023
Interview
I applied online, and after 2 weeks received an online assessment. I didn’t know the OA expires after 7 days, as a result, I missed the first OA. I took the next one, it was algorithm question similar to leetcode but the question was verbose, and it takes time to completely understand.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
i don’t remember but it was leetcode style question but not concise
2 rounds coding a lot of background questions very strange behavior from interviewer camera was off and asked questions in mandarin, leetcode medium-hard and very very slow communication from recruiters based in asia for an english role
OA - 1 arrays Medium, 1 Trie Hard. I had 45 minutes to complete that. I was able to do the medium in about 15-20 minutes but I am not that great with trie ds so I was not able to finish.
