I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Sunnyvale, CA) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interviewer was very friendly. There were two questions in total, and the time was a bit tight. The interviewer informed me in advance that each question had a 20-minute limit, and if I couldn't finish the first question within the allotted time, I had to stop and move on to the second one. The questions weren't too difficult, and I was able to complete them relatively smoothly. The environment didn't allow code execution, so I could only dry run the solutions and explain the algorithm and key steps to the interviewer. Overall, it was a good experience.

Question 1
One question was about strings, and the other was a simple binary search problem.
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.
