I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Start with a short self introduction and background discussion for about ten minutes, then move into solving two coding problems over roughly forty five minutes, and finally reserve the last five minutes to ask interviewer about role details, team structure, and next steps in the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One of the coding questions was to implement an LRU cache. I cannot clearly recall the other problem since I had not encountered a similar question before and initially found it quite challenging, but the interviewer provided helpful hints along the way, and I was eventually able to work through the solution successfully.
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.
