I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2023
Interview
Had go through 2 rounds of screening, and then a full round of interviews (2 more rounds of coding, system design, and behavioral). The behavioral was run by an interviewer who was not fluent in English and hardly paying attention, and the horrible communication between the recruiter and I felt like I was being set up to fail this. Overall, felt like a huge waste of time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Because I had to go through 4 rounds of coding, there were 8 questions total, and I don't remember all of them. Of them all, I remember: least common node in binary tree, sliding window question, no DP. I got asked the LRU cache question twice, they really like that question
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.

1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
