Applied Shanghai office online. After a month, I got called by a recruiter and arranged an interview three days later. Two rounds of technical interviews. The first round focused on technical questions, and the second one was more on my background and projects. I applied for NLP algorithms, so pretty basic algorithm questions, including BERT, transformers, regressions, kernels. Coding tests were a bit hard for me, but overall recruiters and interviewers were pretty nice and trying to walk me through an answer. Sad I didn't get the intern but the overall experience was great.
I applied online. I interviewed at ByteDance (Pékin, Pékin) in Apr 2020
Interview
The interviewer is not very good. He is mean and did not let you go. And at the same time, he asked many questions not relevant with the position I was applying.
Applied online. Pretty smooth resume parsing system on the application portal. I received an online interview invitation 9 days after I submitted my resume. The interviewer is a rather technical person. Did not show his face even if it says it's a VIDEO interview. I was basically talking with a blank screen. I cannot even tell his emotions in his monotone. The interviewer is pretty skeptical about everything I said.
