I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Recruiter reached out and initiated the conversation.
Then came the initial phone screen interview. I feel the problems at the initial phone screen is easier than the ones onsite.
Very straight forward and standard process: 2 coding interviews (each will have 2 medium questions), 1 system design (TicketMaster problem), 1 behavioral.
I think I bombed the system design part.

Question 1
Typical Leetcode questions + a Ticketmaster in Sys Design
Spoke with interviewer over video conferencing. He was very communicative . He answered my questions. Asked me BFS question. A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.

A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.
The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.

I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
It's honestly striaght from leetcode tagged
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.
