      Software Engineer Interview

      Jun 11, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at ByteDance

      Interview

      Most toxic interview I have ever faced, the interviewer seems has no passion and interests for the interview, and just asking questions one by one without any response to the answer and refuse for any discussion or hint. Interviewer also seems act like this interview is a waste of his time and no intend to answer clarify questions. Coding question is like a joke, most easy question and no follow up, which I could solve in one minute and I was wonder how this can test the coding skills of the candidate and make the decision for hire or not hire And still, the interviewer has not any response regarding to the answer. CS fundamental questions are like testing memorizing the book. Though few of the questions are good I would say. Interviewer better to learn to respect others, if you have no interests taking interview then better do not take this assignment.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at ByteDance

      Interview

      The interview process was well-structured and relatively efficient. It typically consisted of multiple rounds: Online assessment / initial screening: Focused on data structures and algorithms, with medium-to-hard LeetCode-style problems. Technical interviews (2–3 rounds): Covered core computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, system design basics), along with problem-solving and coding in real time. Interviewers also asked follow-up questions to evaluate depth of understanding and optimization. Project discussion: Detailed discussion of past projects, including design decisions, trade-offs, and real-world impact. HR / behavioral round: Focused on communication skills, teamwork, and cultural fit. Overall, the process emphasized strong coding ability, solid fundamentals, and the ability to think clearly under pressure. Interviewers were generally professional, though the difficulty level was on the higher side, especially for algorithm questions.
