      Security Engineer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2019

      Interview

      Recruiter found me online and had three round of phone interviews. First round was a generic coding interview (think the ones from generic software engineer positions) and the second one is specific to the role (but still very technical). The third round is meeting with manager and talk about what you could potentially do during the internship. Recruiter was very accommodating and interviewers were very transparent. Recruiters tell you want to expect in advance and you can kind of prep for it. Security interviews can be either native security or web security, and that determines the focus of interviews during round two and round three.

      Question 1

      Implement an algorithm question with a language of your choice. Signed NDA and will honor it, but the questions are similar to the ones commonly found online.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)

      Interview

      The interview process was very structured and oriented around being able to evaluate a candidate while enabling a candidate to talk to multiple employees across different teams to ask questions and form opinions. It consisted of different tracks of technical evaluation as well as behavioral evaluation. The process was respectful, professional, and geared to surface a good fit to the company and their culture as well as someone that could demonstrate solid technical proficiency.
