I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2011
Interview
The interview process comprised of a technical round held at my university. My interviewer was very polite, and patiently explained the problem statement to me. I asked for further clarification of the problem statement, to which he mapped out the problem on the whiteboard. The challenge involved writing code in whichever language I was comfortable in. The problem was to convert roman literals into its equivalent numeric value. I used the whiteboard to solve the problem. I walked the interviewer through the solution and he asked questions on edge case scenarios.
Overall, the interview went ok, but I did not receive a next round call. This was probably because my solution was not optimal and upto their expectations. It was a good experience and I learnt a lot from it
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
The interview process was straightforward and well organized. It started with an initial recruiter or screening conversation about my background, research experience, technical skills, and interest in the role. The interviewer also asked behavioral questions about past projects, teamwork, and how I handled technical challenges. Overall, the process felt clear and professional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked two LeetCode-style coding questions during the technical interview.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I was invited to take their OA about a week after applying, mostly consisted of leetcode easy and mediums. It was a pretty smooth process, with quick feedback. Good experience overall
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Data structures and algorithms, leetcode style medium and easy
They ask the normal standard DSA questions that you would expect for an internship like LeetCode mediums. I think there were two rounds of technical interviews before the offer stage.
