Interview
I got to meet the relevant people on the product team as well as the engineering leads I ended up working with. Fantastic to collaborate with them over practical questions.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at TikTok (London, England) in Mar 2020
Interview
1st Round - interview with talent recruiter
Very brusque interview style. Had expected the interview to last for an hour given the seniority of the role but it was much shorter and without much room for me to ask questions and when i did the interviewer wasn't able to supply many answers.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TikTok (London, England) in Apr 2020
Interview
I was contacted by an recruiter. I was asked to provide confidential information very quickly over email, including salary and other personal details. I did ask about submitting my personal details to a secure system due to privacy requirements and was told it wasn't an issue. I had a very quick call with the recruiter who said I'd hear back soon. That was 6 weeks ago.
Very poor representation of a great consumer brand. No feedback, no diligence, no respect really!
