I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2024
Interview
E6 interview.
1 behavioral round asking about past projects, mentoring teammates, learning from mistakes.
2 coding rounds. All leetcode tagged to Facebook, 2 medium difficulty questions each round.
2 system design rounds. One was focused on designing an API and one on a scalable system, similar to a Grokking the System Design Interview question
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.
