I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at TikTok (New York, NY) in Jul 2025
Interview
Fast turnaround, structured communication via HR. Mostly behavioral questions and some situational questions related to the role which was expected. Seamless process throughout, and was able to do this while in school since they offer internships during school.
45 minutes 2 rounds. Could vary depending on teams and positions. The interviewer is nice and warm, is my line manager. We have great communication. The second round is her peers.

The interview process was straightforward, The questions asked both pertained to past experiences as well as technical skills related to the role. The interviewer however seemed a bit impatient and wanted to get through the questions quickly
