I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2025
Interview
During the 45-minute phone interview, there are two leetcode style questions. First, there was brief introductions from the interviewer and no project deep dive or BQ, then jump to the coding questions, need to finish two questions with some follow-up questions and only need to dry run the code.
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
