I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Phone screen (with coding). Sometimes had difficulty understanding the guy. No behavioral, pure code. Question itself was pretty challenging compared to the other questions I've gotten at other places, but not unsolvable. I didn't get a working solution, unfortunately, before I ran out of time.
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.
