I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
Great interview process. I was asked to complete two programming questions. Interviewer talked with me about my thought process and provided hints to further optimize my solution. I managed to complete the problems but did not have enough time to optimized them
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.
