I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TikTok
Interview
I did 2 rounds, and it was overall a relatively standard experience. One interview with the team lead and one with the hiring manager. Both very friendly and very prompt, and they were happy to answer all questions and go over the time limit which I greatly appreciated.
Questions varied a lot, competency and motivational aplenty as expected for an internship but also an out of the blue case study which thankfully wasn't too difficult.
TikTok is still young so it's expected for them not to be overly organised (and they are clearly making an effort) but communication with candidates during the process wasn't great. Hopefully that can improve.
I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2021
Interview
I applied in November. Starting off with how we apply is alot too, I had to submit multiple assignments for the portfolio section. Honestly one of the hardest interviews I have ever had. Asked me how I would solve a problem using legislative procedures, something I have never been asked before.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how would you solve X problem using legislative procedures?
The interviewer wants a professional person instead of an intern. Therefore if you are totally new to HR, it's not going to work if you are not really good at talking.
