I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First, ask some questions about Facebook, do you use Facebook? Why you like it? Which part of it should be improved? and the begin to the coding part. It is a question about CVS encoding and decoding. It took me several minutes to understand the question, and I am too nervous to come up with a perfect solution. it is my first interview and I think I should learn more.
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
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.
