I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2023
Interview
Got an email for the Online Assessment. 5 Questions were asked from them 2 were multiple choice and other 3 were based on the DSA concepts coding. Their standard was high in considering the difficulty level.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The BytePlus platform has n servers, where the data stored on the ith server is represented by the array memory. To manage the server efficiently you can perform the following operation any (possibly zero) number of times:
• Choose an index idx, such that 1 ≤ idx s n/2.
• Swap the data of the pair of servers that are equidistant from the beginning and the ending of the array memory and have a distance less than or equal to idx.
The total working efficiency of the servers is calculated as the sum of the product of the data present in each server with the index of that server.
Given an integer n, and an array emory, find the maximum possible total working efficiency that we can get, since the total working efficiency can be very large print it modulo 109+7.
I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (Sydney) in Sep 2023
Interview
First technical interview (takes around 45 minutes) asking questions around resumes and projects and related Deep learning and machine learning questions and then 2 leetcode live coding questions. Topics covering DPs and DFS.

Question 1
Ask about details of the architecture of transformers and vision transformers.
I finished an OA last year for another position, so I went straight to the VO. The first VO was about past projects, a DFS/BFS leetcode medium question and then some machine learning questions.
