Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I had a technical phone screen during which I was paired up with a guy who barely spoke English. I began solving the problem (it was merging k sorted arrays) one way using min heap and he told me to do it another way by brute forcing the solution. So I did. Then midway through doing it his way, he was like, "Why are you doing it that way? That's inefficient." Then, he proceeded to say that we were done and promptly ended the call. I didn't get the job obviously. It was a TERRIBLE experience. Please you guys, if this guy's attitude is anything like the other peoples' attitudes at Facebook, don't work for this company. I will be starting my new internship at Twitter and am so relieved. I really dodged a bullet.

There were an excessive amount of rounds with a high difficulty of questions for a new grad role. Everyone I spoke too was very friendly though! Study hard and you may be okay.
Asked me two leetcode hard style questions and I knew it was over for me. Interviewer was nice and tried to guide me along the right path but the question just wasnt clicking with me.
