I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta in Dec 2024
Interview
Practice the top 100 Meta tag problems from the past 30 days multiple times, because the exam will include the exact same questions. Make sure to dry run each problem. Practice several times, especially the recursive problems, since their dry runs are more complex and require extra practice.
Meta’s interview process typically begins with a recruiter screen to discuss your background and role fit, followed by a technical phone interview that focuses on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. Candidates who advance complete a virtual or onsite interview loop consisting of multiple rounds, including coding interviews, a system design interview for more experienced roles, and a behavioral interview assessing collaboration and alignment with Meta’s values. After interviews, feedback is reviewed by a hiring committee to ensure consistency and reduce bias, and successful candidates receive an offer before proceeding to team matching.
Generally, the interview was smooth, people were friendly, but I was not able to solve the uncommon Leetcode medium problems. There were two rounds, and I failed the second round. Didn't make it.
