Recruiter reached out via Linkedin to get information about my current role and introduce about the role. I went through 5 rounds of interview, which involved recruiter, hiring manager, skip level, peer skip level and cross functional HR.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you overcame challengers?
What is a feedback that you've received and how have you worked on the feedback?
It was a disaster, especially the third interview. The questions were not really related to check my skills and experience. Also, even though it was the advanced stage, I strongly believe that the interviewer did not have a look at my resume and comments from the first and the second interviewer.

What will you do? If you wake up in the morning and it turns out that you are alone in Mars.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
First interview was via video zoom with a hiring team member. I felt good about it afterwards (I usually have a good sense when things don’t go well). I thought I’d at least make it to the next round... but after two weeks of hearing nothing, even though I followed up, I was just sent a rejection email today... good luck if you’re interviewing!
