I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY)
Interview
Three rounds of peer interviews including technical and behavioral interviews. Content found online about interviewing for this type of roll was very relevant for the technical interviews. After passing the three round process I was made to wait until they found the right team/roll for me. I was confused because I thought I already passed the interview, but this really just put me on the bench for managers to select from. In the end I never got an offer and after 1 year my passing interview status expired.
