I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2017
Interview
It is an onsite interview when all group interview are not available and can't be rescheduled since the hiring season is ending. We had serial engineers as interviewer in turn. They didn't had our resume and didn't know anything about us.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
The most challenging problem you faced and how you solved it.
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
