I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TikTok (Vancouver, BC) in Jul 2024

HR screening->three technical rounds->TAP call->then maybe an offer call.
Medium Classic Coding question, combined with resume deep dive and domain knowledge and system design. Overall not that hard but the process can be really long.
