I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TikTok (New York, NY)
Interview
quick 4-part interview. First part was with a recruiter, second with the head of team, 3rd with another regions head of team, and lastly with a team lead. Interview was super conversational and mainly asked about previous experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok in Jan 2026
Interview
First round with HR. Second round with peers. Third round with the hiring manager. They move really fast and care a lot about if you have hands-on experience working with creators.

MESS OF A COMPANY - KIM FARRELL IS WACK. I had one of the worst interviews ever with the Head of Creators attempting to flex and say how she would be the next COO soon and the Creator team will be shifted under TikTok Shop.
