Recruiter reached me. Facebook has the best recruiters in the industry. I went through the first round it went well with the coderpad, on the same day I got email saying they want to take another round of coderpad. The second round was after a week and the interviewer is an Indian (I am not being racist here) he started saying most negative things about the position that sounded fishy to me. These words like "did you really know what this position is for" , "I don't think you will be interested in this position" it started with the negative vibes. He asked me the level of question which is the toughest in the leetcode. I don't want to comment on the question he asked me but I am sure he didn't want to hire me. He was even asking me to on the video which they did not inform me earlier. That is too bad, because the interviewer has to know the standards of the interview, he can't randomly do what he feels like doing. Overall the interviewer was bad.
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.
