I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jul 2019
Interview
The HR was MIA over and over. From "I was sick on Friday" to "I took Monday off" to "I was working from home on Wednesday". I have to keep going back to the original recruiter to contact HR to contact me. This is still on-going.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I was contacted by a Facebook recruiter in Australia for a US position. Was scheduled a VC round within 2 weeks. The interviewer was from Instagram team. 5 minutes of introduction was followed by two data-structure questions for 30 minutes. I solved and wrote error-free code both the questions. After the interview when I checked solutions, my first algorithm was good but second one was not the lost optimized one. I guess that's where it didn't work well.
