I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Jan 2025
Interview
Applied online. After a short call with the technical recruiter, I got a link to schedule an interview for a E3-E4 position.
The first technical interview wasn't difficult at all, but I didn't have time to go through the most common problems on LC, so obviously I got rejected.
Everyone was very nice and helpful during my short recruitment process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I got 2 LC mediums: one of array problems, one of graph problems. I've tagged them
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.
