Average interview
Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
The recruiters I spoke to were very helpful along the way, they took the time to explain everything to me and help set me up for success.
I was able to schedule a mock interview before my technical screening. This helped with knowing what to expect and quickly improving some things based on the feedback I got from my interviewer.
The actual technical screening was good. The interviewer I got was helpful and made the experience as pleasant as a technical interview could be.
I actually passed on to the next round of interviews. But then I got really sick and was not able to complete the cycle before the deadline for the next cohort was up, so I had to drop out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a string that represents and integer, convert it to an integer.
Challenging but good. The interview process is very well-developed and comprehensive. Interviewers were experienced and good at interviewing. The coderpad is great and they use excalidraw for system design. Be prepared to do two algorithms questions in 40 minutes!
