I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2022
Interview
To go to the second round, you have to pass 3 stages.
The first is a coding challenge where you get four code challenges with about 70 minutes for all of them. The second is a coding interview with a software developer where you'll be asked 2 questions and 40 minutes. The third is an onsite meeting. No leetcode and you will not complete the questions. You could be the worst programmer ever but if you have done enough leetcode, you'll do great.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
recursive dictionary search in any language you prefer.
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.
Spoke with interviewer over video conferencing. He was very communicative . He answered my questions. Asked me BFS question. A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.

The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
