I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Dec 2018
Interview
The interview process was for the most part okay. The recruiters were very kind. It was kind of fun. The last question took a while before I figured out the answer, so I wasn't able to code it. Two questions were given per 45 minute interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The question was a variation of, find the longest subsequence in a long string s, that matches a shorter string c.
Looking back, I'm glad I tackled the interview at Meta, even though I ultimately declined the offer. The process included a couple of technical rounds after an initial behavioral interview. I faced questions like implementing an LRU cache and traversing a binary tree. The kicker was when I realized the Kth largest element question was a twist on one I had recently practiced on PracHub. Overall, it was a solid experience with a fair level of difficulty, and I learned a lot along the way.
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.

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.
