Application

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ByteDance

Interview

Very negative experience. I received the notification about the interview just one day before the scheduled date, but I was unavailable. Tried to email HR to rearrange a date, and received a reply for another very close date. When I asked further about the exact interview time, the HR just disappeared and never reply to me anymore. It's been about a month since the last email. I followed up with three more emails but never received a reply. Overall, it was very unprofessional.

Fast interview process. If you pass, you get contacted for the next round in the next few days. Contacted HR to fast track the process with a competing offer and was offered immediately. Team dependent but good to know Mandarin.
