1. Call from recruiter to explain the role and the interview process if your CV is shortlisted. The recruiter who called me was efficient and explained the job really well. Would definitely recommend her, she is doing a great job.
2. Hiring manager interview - Experience based, Understanding of the role you applied for, and then behavioural questions followed by a 10-15 min case study. Then you would have 5 mins to ask any questions.
3. Rest of the rounds with the team etc.
Interviewer was 5-7 minutes late, I was thinking maybe I should drop off. Then he arrived and wasn't even sorry for being late. The interviewer looked rude and looked like he knew it all, was judging me the whole time.
Baffled by the case study. The case study wasn't clear as to why someone would ask a specific internal project scenario where I would have to provide insights in 10 minutes (which I tried). The interviewer should have presented some generic case study instead of project scenarios and knowledge only available to TikTok employees. I knew he is gonna reject so I was expecting a rejection email which arrived in a couple of days.
Already have 2 offers and accepted one, right after the interview experience. Should have taken a chance with Tiktok, if they had been nicer.
