I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2020
Interview
After getting a referral I was contacted for a 45 min phone screen, which happened a week after contact. After that took about 1 week for feedback and I was confirmed for 2nd round 45 min VC interview. They implied this was supposed to be on-site but due to the coronavirus, that changed. Both went into coding almost immediately at the beginning, then 5 mins are left at the end either for introductions or questions for the interviewer. No behavioral, but I’d guess that they can base your personality evaluation off of your interactions with the recruiter and the type of questions asked at the end.

Question 1
Longest (strictly) increasing sub array of ints, then update to allow 1 break (non-strictly increasing int) then update to allow k number of breaks + time complexity of each part
Pretty good experience, and the questions are very similar with others, and most of them are behavioural questions. Since I postpone the interview several times due to some personal issues, they told me the positions are filled out.

Question 1
What would be your biggest challenge coming into this role
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.

Question 1
Tell me about a project you worked on then 2 data structures and algorithms based questions on a shared screen.
