I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Aug 2021
Interview
Technical phone screen interview. This is the technical phone screening interview. Facebook itself gives you a lot of interview prep material which was very useful, so will recommend everyone to go through that among other things.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical coding questions related to graph search algorithms. The interviewer is there to help you succeed so a really good experience.
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.
