I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Feb 2025
Interview
Process was 1 technical screen followed by 1 onsite loop consisting of 2 coding rounds, 1 behavioral, 1 product architecture interview. Then your packet gets sent to the hiring committee, which can approve, down-level, or reject you. (Sometimes up-level although it's rare). After that you are in a "team-matching" phase where your resume is placed in a pool and you do hiring manager calls to find a team. Then, comp team gives you an offer and you can negotiate.

Question 1
All of my coding questions were from Leetcode tagged Meta questions. My product architecture question was from Hellointerview.
The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.

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
