It was good, I got fumbled in the 1 of the interviews, even though I got the answer, I was not able to get done with the test cases. So need to improve on it
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta in Sep 2024
Interview
A months long process of recruiter talks, phone screens, and online interviews. Code questions are in CoderPad with the IDE disabled. System design questions use an online whiteboard. There's one situational interview of the usual, "Tell me about a time when..."
Interviewers must stick to a script so they won't bother reading your resume. They may not even know how to grade the response because their skills are in a different department.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Rapid fire medium-level leetcode questions in 40 minutes. Memorization, not skill, is the key. Keep a cheat sheet. The IDE is disabled so it's just you writing code into a text editor.
I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA)
Interview
The process was smooth. Interviewer went through a couple of HR questions, and some follow-up questions. Coding was medium level difficulty, got 2 standard programming questions, both are from Leetcode
