I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2020
Interview
After getting a referral I was contacted for a 45 min phone screen, which happened a week after contact. After that took about 1 week for feedback and I was confirmed for 2nd round 45 min VC interview. They implied this was supposed to be on-site but due to the coronavirus, that changed. Both went into coding almost immediately at the beginning, then 5 mins are left at the end either for introductions or questions for the interviewer. No behavioral, but I’d guess that they can base your personality evaluation off of your interactions with the recruiter and the type of questions asked at the end.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Longest (strictly) increasing sub array of ints, then update to allow 1 break (non-strictly increasing int) then update to allow k number of breaks + time complexity of each part
no referral, directly applied online.
1 takehome with blue jean
2 technical rounds
- easy lc in first round
- easy-medium lc in second round
that was sufficient for intern level interview
I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
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
