I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Sep 2024
Interview
Phone interview with recruiter. The interviewer was very kind and patient. Answered all my questions to the best of their abilities. Sent me resources to study for the upcoming tech screen interview. Next rounds of tech screen were typical with a mix of theory, system design, and leetcode style coding.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
String manipulation, sorting strings in a list (you should know what the word lexicographical means), matrix traversal. System design in later round
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.
