I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
The first round was a phone call with HR to schedule the phone technical interview and discuss interests.
The phone technical interview is the coding interview with an engineer on Facebook.
They use HackerRank for coding environment.
The question was easy to medium difficulty with many follow up questions from the engineers.
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.
