I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Sep 2018
Interview
Technical Phone Interview,
then a trip to their office in NYC (they paid for flights, hotel, etc),
three 45min interviews back-to-back, all with Software Engineers, one asked two easy binary tree questions, the next one medium string question, the last asked behavioral questions about my work at previous companies and then an easy array question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Binary Tree questions, string question, array question.
The process is straightforward and designed to help us get to know each other. It moves through a few stages at a comfortable pace, involves conversations with several team members, and focuses on making sure it's a good mutual fit.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Had an initial recuriter call and then scheduled a coding round with 2 leetcode questions. Practicing Meta-tagged leetcode questions would help prepare for this round. Interviewers expect clear communication and code.
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.
