I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2021
Interview
External recruiter phone screen, technical video screen, internal recruiter phone screen, full day video screen
Was very well managed and pleasant experience.
Everyone was very professional, very prepared, and seemed genuinely interested in my success.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
4 algorithm questions, 2 system design questions, 1 behavioral interview
6 LC questions, 4 hards and 2 mediums, 45 minute time limit for every 2 questions, three rounds in total, pretty easy study tagged q's and you will be okay
Resume, then got to the interview where I had to do coding. Found it hard, was not super prepared. Wish prepared more. The talking interview was smooth, they asked why that company, etc. Ordinary procedural stuff.
This was a pretty standard leetcode interview. There were 2 rounds plus a screen and they got back to me pretty quickly overall. Overall had a good experience, would do it again.
