I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TikTok (Bellevue, WA) in Aug 2024
Interview
Got through 6 rounds of interviews. Some of them were very in-depth and related to the specifics of the shipping industry for the marketplace. The common problem- not everyone speaks English. The connection is not stable, and you need to use the internal tool for video calls. But the language barrier is the biggest concern and bottleneck.

Question 1
How can users be prevented from returning or getting RTS status?
My worst interview experience ever. I think the entire process. The interviewer is so impatient and she's just like giving a lot of bully and disagreement, and I feel just a lot of disrespect.

Question 1
Previous product experience and what do you think is the platform's
The interview process consisted of 4 rounds:
Recruiter Screen - Standard 30-minute call covering background, motivation, and logistics (relocation willingness, start date)
Hiring Manager Round - Focused on product sense and strategic thinking.
Technical Round - One round with an engineer covering technical PM questions. Expected to discuss system architecture, data governance, and technical trade-offs
Product Lead Interview - Deep dive into product strategy, leadership approach, and ability to handle complex product challenges
It was 5 rounds of interview, and the process was quick and structured. I was interviewing with hiring managers and skip managers in different timezones from US or China. Each interview was a little bit different in terms of questions, but they all focused on your past experience and deep dive into past case studies. Be prepared to elaborate on how you deal with different situations.
