The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ByteDance (Singapour)
Interview
Internal recruiter reached out directly for phone call and arranged a vid call the next with PM. PM not transparent about team structure and what the role would working on exactly. This was for a Singapore role working on B2B product, interview was with China team PM. No worries with language barrier but when asked about the culture he basically said it’s 996 and if you’re not ok with that this isn’t the place for you. FYI Chinese product firms tend towards continually launching and see what sticks, mkt fit and validation usually come after.
