I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Dec 2020
Interview
The first round consisted of a HackerRank screening interview. The problems were very challenging but the concepts were familiar enough to make some progress. Even though I did poorly on that screening, round I progressed onto the next round. A FB software engineer asked me to solve some problems (invert a binary tree), and other array related problems.
no referral, directly applied online.
1 takehome with blue jean

I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
