The process took 5 days. I interviewed at TikTok (Berlin)
Interview
I had a call with a recruiter from China. He did got my name wrong and although we had rescheduled he still was confused why we had to call me at another time. The questions were basic, asked me about excel as well. He was kinda arrogant
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at TikTok in Mar 2022
Interview
I had a phone interview for the role of content moderator and I’m happy I’ll never have to deal with TikTok again. The interviewer asked me if I was comfortable in watching violence and child abuse videos and nearly laughed at me when I expressed my worries towards such sensitive subjects (please note that I wasn’t asked if I was aware that some sensitive videos might be updated but stressed the fact that being a content moderator was only about that). Then I was asked wether I would prefer morning or night shifts, and again I was almost laughed at when I gave a day shift preference. Very unpleasant experience

Firstly a phone call, followed by an email with an interview date (mine was for 3 days later), followed by the first virtual meeting (45mins), following this another virtual meeting was set up for a few days later. The whole experience was very pleasant and efficient.

Question 1
Both virtual meetings were very well structured, firstly to tell them about yourself and secondly what you would do in different situations. Very positive experience.
