TikTok is not all bad. It’s highly team dependent
I love my team. I think at TikTok it is very, very team dependent. Some teams are horrible; some are really good. Generally, people are really smart, but some teams can have horrible work cultures, such as micromanaging your time or not respecting your off days, etc. I would say it all depends on your team. If you manage to get into a good team with a good leader, even if the work is tough, it's a lot more manageable.
The pace is definitely fast, but a good team helps to make it better. My team works hard, but we also respect off days and weekends as much as we can.

I had a live coding round with another MLE. There were two sections: * Asked about self-attention, transformers, NER, evaluation metrics, RL, etc. * Live coding round: LeetCode Medium about creating a random sampler with uniform probability.

The HR staff were very nice. - HR screen (30 mins) - Coding and ML basics interview (1 hour) There would have been another two technical interviews and a behavioral interview. By this point, I dropped out since I received another offer. The process
