I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at TikTok (Dublin, Dublin) in May 2021
Interview
I had applied for this role in the first week of March. I got an email regarding a preliminary phone call invitation at the end of May,
Immediately after the phone call (Skype), I got an invitation for the next round in the first week of June. After this round, I had no updates. Later after 2 weeks, I had to email them regarding the updates. They then told me that some internal changes were going on because of which I had to wait.
Later at the end of July, after 1.5 months I got an invitation about the next round which I cleared. After this again one more round after a week (end of July).
In mid-august, they ghosted me, literally after 4 rounds they didn't give any updates. I decided to email them again if there were any updates. The next morning I got an automated email that they were moving forward with other candidates.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok in Oct 2025
Interview
The interviews were structured as two case study interviews with operation leads and then a behavioral interview with the head of department. They tend to move fast (all interviews scheduled within 2 weeks)
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TikTok in Nov 2023
Interview
The procedure was largely automatized, yet the mismatch orchestrated by the talent acquisition team between the candidate and job position resulted in productiveness. Ended up, I was not being shortlisted for the 2nd interview without any reason.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This is a high-ranking position that doesn't involve managing a team, unlike your current job where you are a manager. How comfortable would you be transitioning into this role without having a team to lead?
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at TikTok (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
It seemed very unorganized. The interviews themselves were a little inconsistent. Response times varied from weeks to a month. Overall, it wasn't bad. I just wished they were more communicative about where I was in the interview process.
