By far the most unprofessional and worst interview experience. My second round was with peer review and not the HM which was a bit weird to me. The person interviewing took my interview on the train…as in on public transportation while surrounded by other people with their headphones in. They kept losing cell service and having to hang up. Eventually they continued the interview with the camera off and the loud train and people talking in the background the remainder of the time. It was disrespectful of my time and the interview process as a whole. A terrible representation of the company. After that, they auto-rejected me immediately the next day. And I didn’t bother telling HR since I was auto-rejected anyway.
O processo foi curto, quase 2 semanas de entrevistas. O problema é que passaram ate o final para depois dizer que nao era um fit correto para a empresa, sendo que isso deveria ser percebido nas primeiras entrevistas.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
It was drawn out and they ended up filling the position internally. The recruiter call was quick and to the point. The first round of interviews the interviewee seemed very tired and distracted. I think they had already hired at that point!

Question 1
If you had to improve something on TikTok, what would you improve? What do you think of the creator economy?
