I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2017
Interview
On-campus interview. Facebook held meet up for candidates the night before to help us relax and meet interviewer. Interviewer was really nice, but I should have prepared more. 15 minutes intro and background info, 30 minutes for medium level leetcode question.
The process is straightforward and designed to help us get to know each other. It moves through a few stages at a comfortable pace, involves conversations with several team members, and focuses on making sure it's a good mutual fit.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Had an initial recuriter call and then scheduled a coding round with 2 leetcode questions. Practicing Meta-tagged leetcode questions would help prepare for this round. Interviewers expect clear communication and code.
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.
