I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Singapore) in Sep 2023
Interview
Did 2 interviews, got a rejection after the second one and not sure why it happened. Sequence of events: 1. Quick Q&A about my past work
2. Technical interview time but coding platform is not functioning well (I'm typing and the cursor is all over the screen) We move over to hackerrank where the interviewer copies the question in the middle of my console. I asked if it was okay to copy the question elsewhere as it was distracting, to which he responded yes. I copied to a notepad.
3. Question solved, within the time and working for all cases.
4. We spoke for 10 minutes after and then when it was time to go, he quickly cut off (like I need to get out of here).
Still confused as to what happened. If I were told my solution sucks I would be fine, but no feedback at all?
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.
