I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2021
Interview
Applied through a referral, then a university recruiter reached out to me, and scheduled the first round.
During the first round, I was asked 2 questions (20 minutes each) and the difficulty of the questions was between Leetcode medium and hard.
After that, there was a second round called "virtual onsite round" and the difficulty of the questions were leetcode medium. The interviewer was pretty much blank during this round. However, I found that this round was relatively easier compared to the previous round.
I was able to solve both the questions in the second round but I missed a major edge case. Maybe that's why I got rejected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Find the smallest substring having a certain set of characters
2. Find the product of all the subsets of a given set of numbers
Can't tell you about the 2 other questions that were asked in the 2nd round as I've signed an NDA with Meta.
Super easy interviews. Did not study at all and never took a data structures or algorithms class. I got simple array and greedy coding problems. Enjoyed the process thoroughly. Can't wait to help make society better!
Pre-interview was very nice. Recruiter are surprisingly helpful, very quick reply speed/fast process.
Very cold interview, interviewer is not the most friendly and attentative.
You are expected to flesh out your logic pretty well, and answer it smoothly and of course optimally.
