I am very disappointed with this entire process. My interviewer was unable to understand my solution to her problem and was unable or unwilling to listen. I tested my code directly afterwards to make sure I wasn’t mistaken. Sadly I wasn’t able to explain my code at all or even finish writing it during the interview. Right away I was confronted with “this is wrong. I’ve interviewed many people and this is wrong.” This was minutes into starting. All I showed her at that point in time was how I was going to reduce time complexity. I’m just upset with how rude she was. I hope this is not the standard for Facebook. I haven’t even heard back from the recruiter yet after that.

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.
