Got reached out to by a recruiter who set up a phone call to discuss the position. After that an algorithm round was established, and then a systems round. The algorithm round was quite standard and not too hard, but the topics that were recommended to study for the systems round were much too broad as in actuality, the interviewer focused on asking very small specifics that were impossible to study for given the time span.
Other than that, the recruiter was very friendly and the process was very fast, but the process was disappointing at the end.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Sunnyvale, CA)
Interview
Pretty straightforward. I interviewed for the PE University Grad role. The first round was mainly a basic coding round and a PE basics round. Once I passed that, there was a loop of 3 interviews - System round (focussed on OS concepts), another coding round and a behavioral round.
I had two screening rounds and 3 interview loop rounds, Meta leetcode questions, systems design can be extensive. Questions can be repeated so look out for all the available questions online. Systems debugging is a very important topic
