Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

The process was LeetCode-heavy. You will need to finish two medium-to-hard problems in 60 minutes for two rounds before getting to the hiring manager round. The hiring manager round is like the usual, with more focus on team-specific needs.

Questions

TikTok LeetCode tagged for the technical round.
