I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Phone screen (with coding). Sometimes had difficulty understanding the guy. No behavioral, pure code. Question itself was pretty challenging compared to the other questions I've gotten at other places, but not unsolvable. I didn't get a working solution, unfortunately, before I ran out of time.
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.
Spoke with interviewer over video conferencing. He was very communicative . He answered my questions. Asked me BFS question. A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.
