I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2025
Interview
Performed phone screen interview, asked two medium difficulty LeetCodes. Then did 2 more coding interviews (2 mediums, 2 hards ), 1 behavioral, and 2 system design for the on-site (online).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mix of medium/hard Leetcode problems, then commonly asked system design questions (Ticketmaster/API)
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.

I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)

There are no surprises if you do tagged you would be good and do well.
System design is much harder. Would recommend using hello interview.
