I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
It was a 45-minute technical phone screen. The interviewer called me right on time, at 11:00 am and it lasted exactly 45 minutes. The pattern was as I expected and as it was given on the facebook interview prep page. The interviewer started out by introducing himself and telling a bit about what his role at Facebook was. He then asked me a couple thing about my resume and the projects I worked on and was proud of. (I suggest not to spend too long explaining this because that would mean less time for the coding questions. Just a couple sentences should be fine.) The main chunk of the time was for coding questions and the last few minutes were for questions.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Question 1: Given two sorted arrays, write a function to find the kth smallest element among both the arrays. (This was required to be solved in constant space without using any additional data structures).
Question 2: Three sum problem. Given an array of numbers, write a function to find groups of all three numbers such that their sum is 0. The numbers can be repeated.
There were an excessive amount of rounds with a high difficulty of questions for a new grad role. Everyone I spoke too was very friendly though! Study hard and you may be okay.
Asked me two leetcode hard style questions and I knew it was over for me. Interviewer was nice and tried to guide me along the right path but the question just wasnt clicking with me.
2 tech, 1 behavioral
Tech were basic LC questions mostly from Meta tagged
Behavioral was also standard tell me about a time questions and deep dive into a project. A tech person was taking my behavioral, so went deep into why I used that tech and similar questions
