What would you say is the most difficult challenge for social media companies like TikTok?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at TikTok (Singapore) in Sep 2025
Interview
There was 1 round with the recruiter, 1 interview with a peer interviewer (someone who will be in the same team as you), 1 interview with the team lead(s), and a final interview with HR before your offer.
It was very elaborate and thorough with several rounds to assess your experience, capability and passion for the role. It is a specialised role and requires specific interview questions. It will test your resilience and determination to get the role.
