I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in May 2018
Interview
They called me on Bluejeans, didn't work well, so they called me on the phone, the sound wasn't good either. The guy on the other side of the phone had a very thick accent, quite hard to understand. He told me to skip the introductory part because we couldn't hear each other well.
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.
