Anonymous Interview Candidate in Singapore
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at ByteDance (Singapore)
I could give 0 stars if I could. The WORST experience I've had thus far. HR based in Beijing was extremely unprofessional – disappeared and made empty promises regarding when they'd get back to me constantly. Had to do interviews last minute in Chinese as interviewers who take care of US market could not speak English. Eventually got an offer and after accepting it, they ghosted me for weeks and then told me the role has been internally filled. Strongly suggest to avoid at all cost.
- Questions were very basic – asked a lot about logistics about my previous role
