      Software Engineer Interview

      Jan 18, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      Phone: 3 rounds On-site: several rounds Culture: profession Problems are neither hard nor tricky. The biggest challenge is Offensive Chinese Interviewer. If they show disregard of your question about the interview problem, don't be frustrated, keep asking what you want to know. If you give up asking, you may lose some important information that you should check with them at first. And when they are picky about your code, or when they indicate that there are bugs in your code, check it carefully, fix as much as you can. And then try to let them discuss the remaining bugs, even if you can't find any more, and no matter how dictatorial they are. Don't end up arguing with them on whether it's really a bug.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      The whole interview process took about a month, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. It began with a technical phone screen where I tackled a DSA question about arrays. This led to a more in-depth technical round that included a design question on building a real-time leaderboard system. Funny enough, that prompt was almost identical to what I practiced on PracHub, which felt like a lucky coincidence. The final interview was a bit more relaxed, covering behavioral topics. I ended up getting an offer, which I happily accepted.
