I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Sep 2021
Interview
I would say, their process is really clean and they provide in-depth assistance in the process. I would say the coding rounds are more about getting easy problems quickly, and mostly those problems repeat from the past interviews. But the system design round is tricky, requires good prep for that.
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.
