I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TikTok (Bellevue, WA) in Feb 2024
Interview
Phone screen with the HR to get to know your background and understand skills and experience.

I didn't pass the second round for some reason, so I do not know about the remaining process.

I didn't finish the entire interview process because I accepted an offer from different company while I was interviewing with Tiktok. Their recruiter & HR seems not professional enough. Like they would leak the interview questions to the candidate. I was asked the same questions the recruiter sent to me. I also didn't get a confirmation back from them after I requested to cancel my interview.
