I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
First-round coding screen I was asked to code two leet code medium questions in 45 mins. The interviewer was friendly but due to that format of the interview didn;t go over much details.

Question 1
I was asked to code two leet code medium questions in 45 mins.
Flatten a tree to a DLL in place and search in a BST.
I would not recommend attending meta or any other company that asks you to solve 2 problems under 45 mins unless. You practice leet code regularly and has solutions at your finger tips
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.
