I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Sep 2021
Interview
Video conference where I was asked to do an LC easy and an LC medium. Solved both questions efficiently and interviewer seemed satisfy with the solutions. However for the second question it said you would get bonus points if you knew how to achieve an O(n) complexity which was by implementing quick sort. At the time I had no idea what was quick sort so my solution was O(nlogn), which is still good. I got rejected however even though I thought I did pretty good.
no referral, directly applied online.
1 takehome with blue jean
2 technical rounds
- easy lc in first round
- easy-medium lc in second round
that was sufficient for intern level interview
I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
