I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ByteDance (Singapore) in Nov 2021
Interview
Recruiter is unresponsive and deceptive in recruitment process.
Interviewer has a suspicious attitude and is arrogant.
Good practice interview for me to learn how to deal with difficult people.
Overall, the vibe was terrible - wouldn't wanna work with these people.
I withdrew my application the day after my interview as I didn't have a good experience - a few days later they sent me a no-reply email to inform me that they rejected my application. Weird.
Overall, uptight first impression, with super hierarchical corporate culture.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you okay working overtime and long hours?
What do you know about mental health?
How would you deal with difficult stakeholders?
What is your proficiency with computer languages and SQL?
What do you know about TikTok?
Really snobbish and arrogant. Ignored my scheduling, ignored my preferences. This is not the first time being interviewed by ByteDance or TikTok. Every single time, this company has got the worst experience.
Only managed to go through Hr and hiring manager and didn’t hear back. Both interviewers are professional, however it seems like they are also unsure about the role itself. Wish they would give a response
Four stages interview. The recruiter contacted me then proceeded with a phone call interview. Then with the team lead, manager, and lastly HR manager. All of that took two weeks. Overall, the experience was good.
