I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Meta (Zürich)
Interview
First a recruiter from Meta contacted me and then i talked to her and afterwards with an engineer of the team i was supposed to work in. The interviews were very friendly and i liked them up this stage. Since the company has to cut on staff they postponed the next steps.

Question 1
Describe a recent project. What was the challenging aspects for you?
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
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
