Got rejected at cv stage. Competition is so fierce I think you need internships to stand a chance. A reference is also apparently almost mandatory at this point. The issue is you have to prep for those leetcode questions a long time in advance as there are enough sociopaths out there who spend months memorising them. Its all just a big waste of time. Im not entirely sure its even worth it.
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.
