I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Mar 2021
Interview
I was referred by a current employee. The process took about 4 months for me because when I was speaking with the recruiter last December they told me my start date would not be until June. So I decided to take the extra time to prepare.
First Round: Recruiter call to go over my background
Second Round: Technical Phone Screen
Third Round:
2 Coding tests
Behavioral Interview
Systems Design Interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Coding was around Leetcode medium
Behavioral questions were about situations that I had been in and how I had solved it. Pretty standard.
Systems design was designing an application also pretty standard.
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.
