Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso TikTok nel mese di ago 2024
Colloquio
1. Online Assessment. Leetcode kind of questions. Easier than most of the tech companies.
2. A phone screening. Why applying TikTok?
3. Two rounds of 1 hour tech interviews. Focusing on detailed knowledge of algorithms.
Started with a recruiter screen with simple checks. Then went through 3 rounds of interviews. First 2 rounds were live coding with deep dive on previous projects. 2nd round went really deep of every previous work I did from MLE perspective with being questioned of every possible decision choice. Last was interview with team manager.

Domanda 1
Recommendation system questions. Coding problems were I remember leetcode medium level.
Surprisingly straightforward — I expected a tougher challenge for a machine learning role. After a quick recruiter screen, the first technical round focused on implementing K-means clustering, which felt familiar. Handling edge cases for empty clusters was tricky, though. What really helped me prep were the algorithm explanations on PracHub, which gave me confidence going in. The final interviews were a mix of problem-solving and behavioral questions, and in the end, I received an offer that I accepted. Overall, it was a decent experience.
