A very negative experience. My mates and I were spammed by their recruiters.
One lead contacted me directly and said my experience suited their needs well, wanting me to have an interview.
In the second tech round, I found the interviewer was not concentrated. They interviewed neither anything related to the job nor to my experience.
Then I was rejected, and the recruiter said my experience didn't fit their needs. This situation was pretty similar to my other SWE mates who had interviews with TikTok.
I suspect they didn't sincerely want to recruit any Australia-based candidates. The recruitment, I guess, was either their KPI or a way to nominate overseas employees (e.g., their ByteDance HQ employees).
Tell me in detail about your experience on the resume (1st round).

TikTok's interview process for their Software Engineer roles in Australia is extremely selective, failing the vast majority of engineers.
Candidates reported having good feelings for TikTok's Software Engineer interview process in Australia.
