I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First technical screen. A person called you on the phone and gave u a problem that you have to solve within 45min on an online editor that is like notepad where they can monitor you on the other side.
I was well prepared but I wasn't expected that I would be interviewed by someone with such a strong accent. I usually don't have a problem with that since my college has a lot of internationals and I'm somewhat internationals but through phone it sounded so bad and I had to ask him to repeat almost everything I said to me. It was really bad and time-consuming asking the interviewer to keep repeating over and over what he said. I finished the problem just in-time to ask 2-3 questions from me to him. But the end of this made my experience worse when I was asking a question and he said "Sorry we run out of time I have to hang up" and abruptly hung up. I did not pass this interview but I feel like if it was a different interviewer I could have saved myself some time. I was not even sure if he could understand me most of the time because you know how they say you gotta say your thought out loud, I tried to do that but on his side he did not really respond to what I said which really made me feel like I was not talking to a human.

Asked me two leetcode hard style questions and I knew it was over for me. Interviewer was nice and tried to guide me along the right path but the question just wasnt clicking with me.
There were an excessive amount of rounds with a high difficulty of questions for a new grad role. Everyone I spoke too was very friendly though! Study hard and you may be okay.
