I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2020
Interview
Friendly. The interviewer was nice and tried to help me when I got stuck and I felt the interview was geared mainly towards concepts. The code is not run, the interviewer just wants to see your logic and thought process. You need to explain time complexity and why you approached a problem the way you did. Good to brush up on data structures, recursion, that sort of stuff.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a project you worked on then 2 data structures and algorithms based questions on a shared screen.
no referral, directly applied online.
1 takehome with blue jean
2 technical rounds
- easy lc in first round
- easy-medium lc in second round
that was sufficient for intern level interview
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.

Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
