Applied online and recruiter sent an email to set up interview. The recruiter was very encouraging and helpful throughout the process from applying for a visa to the US to providing some tips on acing the interview. Had a phone screen with a software engineer over video chat for 45 minutes. I was a little nervous since it was my first ever phone screen and did poorly on solving the problem. A couples days later received the rejection email from the recruiter.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Jan 2024
Interview
Last year, I interviewed for a Software Engineer role. After applying, I received the online assessment (OA) within 3 days and successfully cleared it, which led to the on-site interviews. The on-site process consisted of 3 rounds: two technical interviews (each featuring 2 LeetCode-style problems) and one behavioral round. I was given a total of 2 Medium, 1 Easy and 1 Hard questions. Although I solved most of them, I struggled with one of the Medium problems. I received a rejection a week later, but the experience was incredibly valuable—it helped me identify key areas to improve and strengthened my interview prep for the future.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One of the key questions I was asked centered around binary trees, with a follow-up that required adapting the solution to work with N-ary trees, which added an extra layer of complexity in terms of traversal and state management.
The whole process took about 40 days.
The recruiters were extremely nice,
The process was very organized:
1 - phone screen
2 - online assessment
3 - online interview
4 - onsite interview - (1 behavioral, 2 coding)
5 - job offer
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
After applying, a recruiter reached out to me and activated the Work Preferences Assessment and Coding Assessment. I had a week to complete both. I then scheduled a Zoom interview about 2 weeks after taking the assessments. It was with one interviewer and was one question.
