I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jun 2020
Interview
This was my second chance with Facebook, the first time I didn't pass the phone screen.
After one year of my failure, I got contacted by a recruiter.
* Phone screen 1:
An array problem with a follow-up.
A tree problem: the interviewer didn't explain very well the question, I tried to solve what I thought was asking but it was not what she was trying to ask.
The recruiter told me that I will have another phone screen that was scheduled 2 weeks later.
* Phone screen 2: a matrix problem that I was able to optimize.
I passed to the onsite, I scheduled it around 3 months later.
Onsite: it was a virtual onsite due to the COVID. Each interview lasted 45 min.
1. A graph problem: I misunderstood the problem, I had to refactor my code and I was able to solve the problem but I didn't have time to code the follow-up.
2. Behavior interview.
3. 2 coding questions: I was able to solve the first problem, I didn't have time to think about an optimal solution for the second problem.
4. System Design.
5. 2 coding questions: I was able to solve the first problem, I gave a brute force solution for the second problem.
2 days after my onsite: the recruiter called me and asked me some questions about my previous experience.
10 days after my onsite: I got an offer but they offered me a non-negotiable Rotational SWE role. I accepted the offer.

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.
