I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (London, England)
Interview
Very technical interview, the interviewer didn’t even go through the “introduce yourself” formalities, opened straight with the Leetcode question. Overall, didn’t enjoy the interview, felt very impersonal. There were two leetcode-style questions to solve within 40 minutes on whiteboard. Company is very focused on reducing latency, so if that’s not something you particularly enjoy as a technical challenge,
might not be the best fit (as was in my case)
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
The interview process was straightforward and well organized. It started with an initial recruiter or screening conversation about my background, research experience, technical skills, and interest in the role. The interviewer also asked behavioral questions about past projects, teamwork, and how I handled technical challenges. Overall, the process felt clear and professional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked two LeetCode-style coding questions during the technical interview.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I was invited to take their OA about a week after applying, mostly consisted of leetcode easy and mediums. It was a pretty smooth process, with quick feedback. Good experience overall
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Data structures and algorithms, leetcode style medium and easy
They ask the normal standard DSA questions that you would expect for an internship like LeetCode mediums. I think there were two rounds of technical interviews before the offer stage.
