Interview
The HR was MIA over and over. From "I was sick on Friday" to "I took Monday off" to "I was working from home on Wednesday". I have to keep going back to the original recruiter to contact HR to contact me. This is still on-going.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I was contacted by a Facebook recruiter in Australia for a US position. Was scheduled a VC round within 2 weeks. The interviewer was from Instagram team. 5 minutes of introduction was followed by two data-structure questions for 30 minutes. I solved and wrote error-free code both the questions. After the interview when I checked solutions, my first algorithm was good but second one was not the lost optimized one. I guess that's where it didn't work well.
