Started to get mail from a meta recruiter. Ignored for several months.
Decided to take the bait after a while. Set up the interview time.
And the recruiter called me. The first question asked was whether I am ready to move to New York or Seattle and I said no. He mentioned the position is for onsite in New York or Seattle and discontinued the call. I think they could have confirmed it in the mail. There was no need for elaborate interview call setup.
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.
