I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in May 2025
Interview
I completed Meta’s full interview loop, investing significant time in preparation. I solved all coding questions optimally but found the time constraints too limiting. The behavioral and system design interviews were subjective, but I addressed all questions effectively. Some interviewers were professional, others disengaged. I didn’t pass, which is fair, but the lack of follow-up was disappointing. Despite my attempts to contact recruiters, I received no updates for weeks. This disregard for candidates' time made the experience one of the most unprofessional I’ve had. Many companies handle recruitment far better, and I’m disappointed in Meta’s approach.

Question 1
General algorithm involving list merging, string pattern, math functions.
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.
