I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Santiago) in Sept 2020
Interview
The pre-interview process was really fast and helpful, lots of material to practice and very nice attitude of the recruiters. The interview itself makes you feel really comfortable despite the proper nerves of it. Approximately 45 minutes of interview, from those 30-40 minutes are for problem solving, the remaining time for questions/presentation.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
A function that saves the right-most nodes of a tree.
Given some words with wildcards in them (e.g "hell* , or "go?d"), where each wildcard means it can be replaced by 1 or more characters or just one, respectively, you need to make a function that takes those words and see if they match to a bank of words that are given to you.
no referral, directly applied online.

I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.

Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
