Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2024
Interview
This was the normal 2 leetcode medium in 40 minutes. I got merging schedules and some weird variation of inverting a binary tree that required bfs. The interviewer was very reserved and did not give many hints. They expected the full run code to run and work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
leetcode medium, merge schedules. present idea, code, validate, run
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!
