Frontend Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
The interview process began with an initial screening call with the hiring manager, covering basic information.
This was followed by a one-hour online technical interview.
The interview was conducted with an employee based in China. It presented challenges due to their limited English proficiency, requiring multiple clarifications from both sides.
Several days later, I received a response stating that I would not be moving forward in the hiring process.
Questions
Linked list question, literally this LeetCode one. Plus other basic JS stuff (I forgot, but it seems similar to other questions for a frontend role at TikTok).
