I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ByteDance (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
Applied for a position on their careers page, and was sent an invitation for 2 rounds, one being coding and the other being system design. The coding one was pretty straightforward and i was able to complete it way before the time limit.
The other was a System design interview, which i felt was taken by an engineer who didn't have much knowledge on the subject and looked like he was a fresher having less experience than me. Overall he wasn't asking questions that made sense and wasn't very clear on what he was trying to say.
