Why did you leave your last role?

"The interview screen was pretty straightforward. The hiring manager screen is mainly behavioral and assessing your product style and fit"

"Fairly straightforward process. Why did you leave your last job? Are you interested in this role? That kind of thing. Just double-checking fit."

"The process was very easy. The questions were not difficult but I didn't have a strong delivery of my answers as I didn't prepare a strong STAR approach."

"Fairly standard interview process, recruiters are very helpful in giving general direction of how to prepare for each interview"

"Overall, I had a positive interview experience. The conversation felt engaging and gave me a better understanding of the role, the team, and the types of challenges they are working to solve. I especially appreciated the opportunity to discuss my experience and think through questions that reflected the work of the position. One area I could have improved personally was being more concise in a few of my responses. There were moments where I could have communicated my thought process more directly. Overall, though, I enjoyed the conversation and appreciated the interviewer's time, transparency, and insights into the team and TikTok."

"Behavioral and Technical rounds were very friendly and relaxed. The last round was very intense and a technical deep dive into software engineering fundamentals like design patterns, code quality evaluation, etc."

"I cold applied and heard back within a few weeks, then my very first call was a founder chat instead of a recruiter. After that, the whole process was basically real engineering work: first building a feature on an older branch of their actual codebase, then extending it into a service endpoint, and then doing a system design round that was half architecture critique and half new feature design. They let me choose between doing the coding work onsite in a day or spreading it across a week, and they even gave me a Slack channel for requirement clarification, which made it feel way more like the real job than most interviews do. I got an offer in the end, but I took a different job. Out of all the AI company interviews I did, this was one of the few where I felt like I could actually show how I work instead of how well I can grind LeetCode."

"The process was more rigourous it went for 1 month and then another 1 month of background check. Rounds were scheduled properly at proper times HR was very cooperative. Interviewere wer very knowledgeable and technically sound"
