I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok in Sep 2023
Interview
It was an OA. I spent more than 30 min on one SQL problem, but still could pass all test cases. Two hours after my submission I got an email saying that there was a mistake in the OA and I would have to do another OA.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
given three tables, write SQL to do the required query that may involve order by, group by, and some logical check. This question is not hard.
Phone screen where the recruiter asked questions about my background, why I'm interested in TikTok etc. Also asked a question about a technical project I've worked on in a team.
There was an OA and then 2 rounds of interviews afterwards. 1st round was technical with LC med and basic CS concepts, 2nd round was behavioral questions with hiring manager.
TikTok’s interview process usually starts with an application and recruiter screen, followed by an assessment or technical test, several interviews with team members and hiring managers, and a final decision or offer. The exact number of rounds depends on the role, location, and whether it is technical or non-technical.
