I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Dec 2014
Interview
2 phone interviews, no on-site because I had a competing deadline.
week 1: interview 1, heard back they want to schedule another interview 2 hours later
week 2: interview 2, heard back about my offer 4 hours later (since I had a deadline on the next day)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Design a self driving car with artificial intelligence
Q: basic tree, binary, data structure quesitons
It was a quick interview with 3 members all asking questions from different domains. Included the director specialist and same level team member. It could have been more focused. They could have made it more engaging.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
About technical forecasting experience from workforce perspective.
Starts with a screen, followed by leetcode style SQL+Python questions, Full loop of SQL, Python, SQL plus Python and lastly behavioural round. Every round is also an architecture round in some sense.
Took about a month altogether, which felt longer given the intensity of the process. Kicked off with a technical screening, followed by two rigorous coding interviews. The DSA question on binary tree vertical order traversal hit me hard at first, but then I recognized the prompt instantly — I had just worked through something similar on PracHub. The final round was focused on system design, and while I ended up receiving an offer, I ultimately declined it. Overall, a challenging experience that definitely sharpened my skills.
