Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 4 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Meta (Menlo Park, CA) em jun. de 2016
Entrevista
It was a typical Facebook interview with 2 phone screen rounds and then the onsite interviews. The phone interviews were both algorithm problems. The onsite rounds consisted of 2 coding, 1 system design and 2 behavioral+coding rounds. Lunch was included with an engineer and also a round with an engineering manager where I got the chance to ask as many questions about Facebook as I wanted without being evaluated.
Questions in the coding round were not difficult (if you prepare well) and I was able to come up with the most efficient algorithm very quickly (later verified on the web) but - and here's the most important point - do not mess up the coding. You are expected to write perfect code, clean and bug-free. If you don't then you get axed. I didn't, so...
What was disappointing is the fact that even though they say reaching the optimal solution is the most important thing and what they are evaluating is your thought process, they don't mean it. They want coders not engineers. Perfection is needed even if they tell you that it's not expected.
Overall though I had a positive experience. All the people involved were very nice and smart. They did not make me feel unwelcome. I guess that's why people love working there.
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
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.

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.
