I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
I was interviewed by a specific team because I was in the interview process for a specialist. This may not be the most common case.
During the onsite interviews:
I gave a tech talk and had one coding interview, two system design interviews in my domain, and one behavioral + coding interview.
I also had lunch together with the hiring manager and a team member.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In a behavioral interview, a question was: How did you handle a conflict?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
7 Interviews, didn't receive an offer after the final round. Time-consuming process, which includes multiple rounds of technical interviews (design, coding, behavior, etc.) and a 1-hour research talk. The team leader was unpleasant to interact with.
recruiter call, technical interview, research interview, and job talk (presentation), hiring manager interview, everything was organized in the website so it was easy to navigate through the process, and recruiter was always responding super quickly
