Software Engineer interview at TikTok

TikTok·Software Engineer·Reported Jul 2026

The recruiter gave me a broad sense of the role and scheduled the interviews, but I could not get much detail about the topics or how many stages remained. HR replied quickly, yet the process structure stayed unclear.

The first technical stage was a LeetCode question. A later combined stage included technical discussion plus another LeetCode problem. Once interviewing started, things moved along, but the uncertainty before and during scheduling made it harder to prepare.

I did not get an offer. The interviews themselves did not seem unfair; the lack of information was what added stress.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
