I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Good interview. Typical leet code questions on trees strings graphs arrays. Problems solving skills were tested. Time complexities were tricky. Interviewer was helpful. Overall, went well. Waiting for results now.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In an alien language, surprisingly, they also use English lowercase letters, but possibly in a different order. The order of the alphabet is some permutation of lowercase letters.
Given a sequence of words written in the alien language, and the order of the alphabet, return true if and only if the given words are sorted lexicographically in this alien language.
The process was pretty straightforward. It started with an online assessment, followed by a phone screen, and concluded with a final interview round that had two LeetCode medium difficulty problems.
straightforward - just 2x medium leetcode tagged in 45 minutes very fast paced though so be aware of time. few follow up questions for interviewer at the end. no behavioral questions.
just one round with 2 lc hards in 45 min. it wasnt too bad at all and honestly if you've done a lot of lc you're gonna be fine just go fast and make sure to check off ur approach with ur interviewer before u begin implementing
