I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Aug 2025
Interview
The process was well-structured, starting with an initial recruiter screening to discuss my background in iOS development. This was followed by a technical deep-dive into Swift and system architecture, focusing on how I managed local storage and AI integration in my personal projects. Finally, I had a behavioral interview with the product team to discuss my collaboration style and project management approach

Question 1
How do you handle real-time data synchronization and state management when building a complex mobile application, especially when integrating external AI APIs
Took about a month altogether, which felt longer given the intensity of the process. Kicked off with a technical screening, followed by two rigorous coding interviews. The DSA question on binary tree vertical order traversal hit me hard at first, but then I recognized the prompt instantly — I had just worked through something similar on PracHub. The final round was focused on system design, and while I ended up receiving an offer, I ultimately declined it. Overall, a challenging experience that definitely sharpened my skills.
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.

It's honestly striaght from leetcode tagged
There are no surprises if you do tagged you would be good and do well.
System design is much harder. Would recommend using hello interview.
