I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Apr 2025
Interview
1- Linux basics multi choice questions - 18mins online exam
2- two screening rounds, first Coding (leetcode), second is PE basics.
3- 5 interviews, two coding, two PE, one behavioural
The interviewers were friendly, but the process felt disorganized and rushed.
Technical issues on the interviewer's side shortened the coding portion, limiting time to demonstrate skills.
Interview topics didn’t fully align with the stated focus or typical academic background.
Some questions required niche, hands-on industry experience not expected at entry level.
There was limited flexibility to explain answers clearly or use supporting tools.
in my opinion, the structure didn’t reflect the potential or preparation of candidates fairly.
