I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Tel Aviv) in Jan 2016
Interview
After passing the phone interview (easy questions with the + and *), i was invited to the on-site interviews. one non tech and two tech. the non tech also had a technical question, not an easy one. two more technical interviews followed. not too difficult questions, yet complicated and if you're off by a bit they will probably not let you pass. i gave good solutions to all questions yet it took me a bit of extra time and some confusion in between, and they did not accept me.
I recommend everyone that prepares to just go over all questions, you can be getting the easy ones and fail them because you practiced too hard on the difficult ones. true story.

Question 1
-Meetings, start and end given for each, calculate minimum number of rooms needed
-VIP question (need to find person who is known to all but knows no one)
Took about a month altogether, which felt longer given the intensity of the process. Kicked off with a technical screening, followed by two rigorous coding interviews. The DSA question on binary tree vertical order traversal hit me hard at first, but then I recognized the prompt instantly — I had just worked through something similar on PracHub. The final round was focused on system design, and while I ended up receiving an offer, I ultimately declined it. Overall, a challenging experience that definitely sharpened my skills.
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.
