I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta in Jun 2021
Interview
The recruiter was helpful somehow. The interviewer on the other hand was unprofessional. He was late, and didn’t give the expression that he was prepared. He asked me to introduce myself and was busy on his computer.. once he had everything set he stopped me (he wasn’t even listening) and said lets start because we don’t have enough time.. Another interesting thing is that he said the policy is not using any tools or codes you have as part of your algorithms.. I mean the industry requires fast/efficient ways to solve problems.. even the webinar they held to prepare for the interviews mentioned that you can use any tools you know if needed.. I decided to end the interview after all these observations as I dont want to work in a team that is managed like that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Introduce yourself.. hint: say anything am not listening.
straightforward, two rounds, not that bad. clear questions, one technical and one behavioral. there were two coding questions and there was a bit on the behavioral question. the last question was about using a hash map in a dfs application. make sure to know dsa before interviewing

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
System design pattern for instagram recommendation
Fair, typical coding process that tests your Leetcode familiarity. Standard design questions and behavioral. No surprises. Overall good experience, a bit slow compared to other companies to give feedback on interviews.
