My interview process was very quick. I got an offer from TikTok within about 2 weeks. I was also well informed before each phone call or Zoom meeting.

I was approached by the HR4HR recruiter for a role in London. They effectively matched every stereotype I ever had about the team. Asked for an unscheduled call at 8pm, asked a grand total of 2 questions, read a couple of sentences from the JD (which I wasn't even offered to review in advance) that included such words as "scrappy" and "autonomous" and ended the call under 7 minutes. I was offered absolutely zero information about the role, team or any sort of expectations apart from interview process... Rejected the same night via automated email, which is fine with me but also had the audacity to say that we have more competitive candidates in the pipeline. Based on what criteria? Dodged a bullet - thank you!
