I applied through other source. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Facebook hires software engineers from all around the world. One can apply in their website . Sometimes they invite people for interview too. First phase is the phone interview phase. Normally 2-3 phone interviews take place, where the interviewee is asked to code in a shared document. Some other questions are also asked. If pleased from the performance, facebook will call the applicant for an onsite interview.

Question 1
You are given an array of integers. Find all the combinations of the numbers of the array, that sum to another number(might be different for different combination) from the array.
One property of the array: The maximum number of the array will not be much greater than the others.
Got a referral through a friend who worked at Meta, which sped up the entire process. After a casual initial chat, I went through a technical interview where I faced a DSA question about validating palindromes. The interviewer was friendly but rigorous. During prep, I had spent time with the coding challenges on PracHub, and it was funny to see a similar palindrome question pop up. Overall, I received an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it after careful consideration.

Question 1
Given a string s, return true if it can be a palindrome after deleting at most one character (Valid Palindrome II).
Recruiter call was pretty standard, first round was 2 Meta tagged LC mediums in 45 minutes. On-site was 2 coding sessions of 2 LC mediums, a system design interview and a behavioral interview with an engineering manager.

Question 1
How do you answer if someone asks how long a deliverable or project will take?
The entire process usually takes 3–8 weeks, depending on scheduling and the specific role. Coding interviews heavily emphasize common DSA topics such as arrays, strings, trees, graphs, BFS/DFS, heaps, hash maps, and dynamic programming. System design becomes increasingly important for E4+ positions.
