Entrevista
I was contacted by Facebook recruiter via Linkedin. After few discussions about skills and roles, I had a 30 minute call with one of their directors. Afterwards there was silence for several months. It seems the role was no longer relevant. After few months the same recruiter contacted me with a new role. Again a 30 minute call with a senior guy. It seems I passed that and the actual interview process started. There were 6 calls of 45 minutes each. Each of them covered a different area (e.g. design, coding, project retrospective). After completing all 6 rounds, I was told to wait for few weeks to get final result. That result never came. I followed up with the recruiting team and came to know that the responsible recruiter left. Another person was requested to provide the feedback to me. Even after asking the person again after a week, I have never received the result. This is quite unprofessional and inappropriate after spending hours in the process, which overall spread over almost 1 year.

Even though the interview was for a senior engineering manager role, the interviews were very technical. There were 2 rounds of design interviews with questions on how to design an access control system for Facebook and how to design a system which can store Wikipedia on a distributed set of mobile devices. During the coding session I had to solve a binary tree search problem. Sessions around projects and management style asked about experience with certain situations and how to solve them.

Got reached out by recruiter on LinkedIn! First call was introductory with recruiter about experience, expectations etc. There are 2 phone screens - behavior and system design. After this, there are 5 more interviews (in no order) - coding, system design, people management, project retrospective and behavior. Recruiter was nice and provided detailed prep material
For system design, I chose product architecture instead of system/infra architecture. For this, i highly recommend practicing on hellowinteview.com. They have practice system design questions which are quite detailed and informative.
For coding, they specifically mentioned no dp and no leetcode hard. The recruiter asked me to practice leetcode medium/easy only. There were 2 leetcode medium questions (20 mins each) on graph, trees and ds.
Project retrospective - one of the more interesting ones as they go deep on your experience for a past project (starting from how do you define scope, team, metrics etc.)
Behavior, people management - pretty standard questions.

Mixed bag. The behavioural interview was quite engaging. The design interviewer was tuned out. Concentrating on something else. A bit of a waste of time really. He didn’t show any interest in what I was drawing or describing and it was hard to know if I’d given enough detail for anything.

Design Ticketmaster. Don’t worry about search. Just focus on scaling case of rush to buy thousands of tickets for popular event.
