I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Mar 2018
Interview
The same old strategy... Linkedin contact, recruiter call, phone/coderpad interview... Later got an email rejecting. I got say, the guy that was interviewing was very junior, he even said that was his first job and he was there for 2 months and he is the one assessing new engineers. Well, I guess I didn't make the cut, but the fact that my code was the best solution for the question, they still rejected. I suspect the interviewer didn't know much about binary trees , more also, he was very confused when I asked him that my code will handle the cases where unbalanced binary trees are presented, which he said he wasn't aware of such type of "data structure" ...LOL what a joke.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a binary tree, find the longest path length in the tree.
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.

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
I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
It's honestly striaght from leetcode tagged
There are no surprises if you do tagged you would be good and do well.
System design is much harder. Would recommend using hello interview.
