I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
It was first with a recruiter for screening. Then the technical screen with the lead engineer. From there if they moved forward you'll take the onsite interview rounds. I didn't make this far. But I think with better preparation I would've made it far.

what is uselayouteffect, promise all implementation, 2 leetcode mediums (sliding window, stack and queue), what is useimperativehandle, how to handle text overflow
The interviewer asked one JavaScript question and one HTML/CSS question. There are other questions that test general knowledge about JavaScript. Overall, it was ok if you prepared well. I assumed this is similar to other coding assessment from other companies.
Somewhat hard concepts with regard to the 3 coding questions, two with React and one with LRU cache. also problems of "bagu"concepts of css and jscript, and finally one DP problem.
