I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2017
Interview
He first asked about project experience and behavior questions. Then asked about some technical problems. The interviewer was patient and we had a really good talk. There's no long coding involved, maybe because it's just the first phone interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what is the most challenging part while working on your project?
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
