I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2018
Interview
One telephonic followed by one video interview, each lasting 45 minutes. Heard back from my recruiter within one working day after both interviews. Friendly recruiters and interviewers. My offer was conveyed via a scheduled phone call - really showed how much they care about candidates.
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.
