I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
I had a phone screen, and then a 45 min technical phone interview. When they got back to me, they still weren't sure about proceeding, I waited a further few days and then found out that they are not going to proceed, but it was very close.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an array of integers, and a value N, output "Yes" if there are two values that add up to N, and No if there are none.
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.
