I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Oct 2018
Interview
I applied online, first interview was made by call, recruiter was very kind, we spoke something around 40 minutes, she asked me basic questions, after that there was online interview with other guy, due to time difference with Israel and US interview was scheduled to very late hours. In general I got very positive experience will try next time again.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
by phone: what is a difference between Object and Array, call and apply, what is DOM structure, what is time complexity of traversing through the DOM, other very basic questions.
online interview: first question is about data structure, given two arrays, one of them is a map to another, you need to traverse and exclude from array objects according to the map, in general they expect from you to build an map object from key+value but you have to use ES6 MAP where key can be stored as object and not as string or ASCII coded string.
The second question was about setTimeout browser api, you will be asked to clean all timeouts, the answer is to override setTimeout and store all of them in stuck and clean them if needed.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Jun 2018
Interview
A recruiter found my resume and invited me to apply for a the front end position. He asked about scheduling a call to talk about the job which I did. However, instead of discussing the role, he jumped into quiz questions on web development and my resume which I wasn't prepared for. No details of the job were actually discussed. The call went okay despite that and I moved onto a technical phone interview. I asked my recruiter prior to the call if I was qualified enough to move forward since I hadn't worked with any Javascript in the past year but he said it was fine. My phone interview was in Javascript only and focused on some specific parts of the language that I couldn't remember enough about to code up. The process ended here for me. Both my recruiter and interviewer were nice throughout the process but I was very ill prepared and felt somewhat misled by the recruiting team. As a new graduate, the inability to choose my coding language was also unusual to me (even though it made sense in regard to a front end position).
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
Same process except in my case the position I was considered for got cancelled so they sent me to the generic recruiting team.
1) phn intw 45 mins 2 algo questions on coderpad
2) Onsite 4 intw, 2 coding, 1 design, 1 (Behavior + coding)
Overall everything went pretty smooth everyone was nice but also at the same time they rejected me saying my coding was not up to the par to what they are looking for.
1) 2 Coding interview onsite I solved all the problems to my best capability on a whiteboard and was confirmed by the interviewers that they were ok with the solutions I wrote. I would rather people be honest and tell me what they didnt like so I dont wait 2 weeks thinking I did ok at the interview. Very fixed process with no honest feedback from interviewer during interview.
2) The Behavior interview felt very robotic and there was no real in depth discussion. however there was no bad feedback from interviewer.
3) The design interview was my favorite as the interviewer seemed he was really interested in the discussion.
So yeah overall it is their company so they can follow whatever process. They encourage employees to be creative and bold so why such a fixed interview process where you cant let your interviewer ask whatever they want to ask to judge a candidate.
I want to work their coz I am very close to menlo park and it is supposably one of the best place to work but will rethink before applying again because I am sure if they are hiring for their bootcamp they want only genius people to be paid so much without having a real requirement.
