I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Recruiter reached out and initiated the conversation.
Then came the initial phone screen interview. I feel the problems at the initial phone screen is easier than the ones onsite.
Very straight forward and standard process: 2 coding interviews (each will have 2 medium questions), 1 system design (TicketMaster problem), 1 behavioral.
I think I bombed the system design part.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical Leetcode questions + a Ticketmaster in Sys Design
There was 1 OA and 1 working preferences form at first when the recruiter reached out to me. Following this were 2 onsite technical interviews one after another. Finally 1 behavioral onsite interview.
I had a few interviews. The interviewers were not very helpful when stuck on a question. Seemed a bit judgmental as well. Overall not the best experience I have had interviewing for a software engineering role.
