I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at TikTok
Interview
In the first round, start with a concise self-introduction, highlighting key achievements and relevant experiences from your resume. Be ready to discuss specific projects, skills, and accomplishments in detail, linking them to the role’s requirements. Complete a Hackerrank coding question, demonstrating your problem-solving approach and explaining your thought process. Conclude by asking insightful questions about the team’s projects, the role’s challenges, or growth opportunities within the company.
I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Took online assessment on hackerrank, 4 multiple choice questions on various security measures such as transfer protocols, and then 2 coding questions, one was on islands and graphs I think
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Something about checking a matrix with islands, I’m sure you can find the question on leetcode
After submitting my application, I was promptly sent an initial HackerRank assessment, which focused on coding challenges designed to evaluate my problem-solving and technical abilities. The assessment included a mix of algorithmic problems that required strong knowledge of data structures such as arrays, linked lists, and trees. It also involved questions aimed at testing time and space complexity optimization.
