I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Washington, DC) in Nov 2021
Interview
Two rounds of screening interviews. I had them over two days. Each asked me to solve two problems. If you finish both questions the interviewer spends a little time to answer your questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first interview had a matrix question that needed to be solved with a BFS. The second one was about relinking nodes in a binary tree.
In the second interview, I got a question about the Kth largest integer. The second question was about target sum in a contiguous subarray.
no referral, directly applied online.

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.

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
