I started interviewing with TikTok for a role that I was put forward for by a recruiter in September. I had in total 5 interviews, where the last one included two short case study presentations. While I genuinely enjoyed the interviews themselves (around 30 mins each) the whole process seemed a bit unorganized and throughout my 5 interviews I was put forward for 3 different roles. I received nothing but positive feedback but after my last interview I was told I wasn't 100% right for the role, and that they would keep me in consideration for future roles. Fast forward 6 months, they reached out again and asked if I was still interested, which I was at the time. I went through another 4 rounds (and by this time I had met with pretty much all senior leaders of the organization) and again nothing but positive feedback. I then receive an automated email saying I was not successful, with no additional feedback except "they did not know where to place me" which seems strange after a total of 9 interviews. So overall a positive experience in terms of the actual interviews but quite disappointing that after that many interview rounds they would just send an automated email and no personal feedback..

Hr called me, asked me a few questions, intro, why you leave your current company, are you actively looking for new opportunities etc. The interview progress is smooth, and pass me to hiring manager round very smoothly.
