I applied for the position through a referral. The first round was an online assessment that was based on HackerRank. I was able to pass all the test cases in all questions. But still got a reject without any reason.

J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez TikTok (Singapour) en janv. 2026
Entretien
Deep dive into past projects, anything that is relevant in software development would be asked, not only backend development. Then the interviewer posed questions about basic concepts and terminologies like locks, process management, memory management, database sharing etc. Ended with a medium Leetcode problem.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
What was the biggest challenge you encountered during this project and how did you solve it? Did anyone else's advice make you better?
A technical interview: the interviewer gives you a leetcode question, you clarify your misunderstanding with them, you write code while explaning your thoughts, finally you write test to test your code. Used HackerRank platform.
