I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (London, England) in Aug 2025
Interview
1) HR phone screen. 15 mins quick call from Shanghai HR. Simple screening questions to ask to confirm that I know the role, expected salary, etc.
2) First round. 30 mins behaviorals from division manager, 2-3 questions in total.
3) Second round + (didn't get there)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you used data modeling to solve a business problem.
It was a HR call asking about background, it was quite short. HR was nice and friendly but it was more to filter out candidates who did not fit the basic criteria, eg: Visa requirements or Essential Skills
1st round, HR, general questions about personal background such as why you move to another country, why change company, very simple quesitons. It was designed to be 45 min but end up being around 30 min

Question 1
self intro; personal background, and 2 points from my resume (but not technical)
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at TikTok (Singapore)
Interview
Standard process, HR round, 3 interviews. HR was very helpful but the second round turned into consulting case study kind of interview instead of any tech related question. Overall interviewers are professional and process was smooth.
