Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en ByteDance (San Jose, CA) en ago 2020
Entrevista
I applied online and was invited to a online video interview. It started off well but after the interviewer explained the problem. My immediate response is to ask the edge cases. Which he shot me down and said 'assume everything is working as expected'. I mean, if we are assuming everything is working as expected then why write code for the problem anyway. Still, I moved forward to explain the approach, which he was not ready to listen and asked me to code. When i started coding, he stopped me frequently to ask questions which is good as he was having a good conversation. But sometimes he would stop me and say dont code it 'this' way code it in another way. Overall, the question was good, find the maxPath in a tree. I did complete the code and it was working (he ran it in the coderpad with some test cases), yet, I got a reject in few days.
The entire interview processes was a recruiter call plus three rounds of technical interviews. Interviewers were friendly. Technical coding questions and work related questions were asked based on your past work experiences. Each interview saved time for the candidate to ask questions.

The interview process was well-structured and relatively efficient. It typically consisted of multiple rounds:
Online assessment / initial screening: Focused on data structures and algorithms, with medium-to-hard LeetCode-style problems.
Technical interviews (2–3 rounds): Covered core computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, system design basics), along with problem-solving and coding in real time. Interviewers also asked follow-up questions to evaluate depth of understanding and optimization.
Project discussion: Detailed discussion of past projects, including design decisions, trade-offs, and real-world impact.
HR / behavioral round: Focused on communication skills, teamwork, and cultural fit.
Overall, the process emphasized strong coding ability, solid fundamentals, and the ability to think clearly under pressure. Interviewers were generally professional, though the difficulty level was on the higher side, especially for algorithm questions.
