I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2021
Interview
- Recruiter screen
- Technical screening (coding)
- One behavioral session
- Two coding sessions
- One system design session
So industry standard.
Lots of flexibility with my availability.
The on-site happened in a single day.
10 days from on-site to offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I will not disclose the specific questions (particularly now that I'm going to become an employee) but I will say this. They seem easy, but the typical solutions don't cover some of the cases.
You might think you did great just after the interview and realize a few hours later that maybe not so well :-)
Spoke with interviewer over video conferencing. He was very communicative . He answered my questions. Asked me BFS question. A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.

The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.

System design is much harder. Would recommend using hello interview.
