I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Sep 2016
Interview
Applied via Campus Career Fair, got a call after a week for on campus 1:1 interview. Got the reply in couple of days for onsite interview in Melno Park. Will be going for onsite soon, where there will be 4 interviews on the same day.
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.
