I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Nov 2024
Interview
Interviewer was nice and easy going. Didn’t make me feel bad for not knowing anything. Let me take a phone call from my mom midway. Shared their diet coke when i asked for it.
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.
