      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at TikTok (San Jose, CA)

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out via LinkedIn. After talked with recruiter and a peer TPM, the interview with the hiring manager was scheduled 1.5 months later. Unfortunately, the recruiter left TikTok during this period of time. I only knew this because her TikTok email was no longer valid anymore. Completely waste time......

      Technical Program Manager Interview

      Nov 8, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at TikTok

      Interview

      Despite preparing thoroughly and performing well in the interviews, I was told the “fit isn’t there.” It felt as though the process was just a formality to meet local interview quota requirements, rather than a genuine attempt to hire. It’s disappointing to invest so much effort only to realize the company hadn’t seriously considered fit before shortlisting.
