I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Dec 2018
Interview
First I had a phone screen interview with a software engineer from one of the teams which included 15 minutes of behavioural questions and questions regarding my background, and for the rest of the 45 minutes I had a technical question. On the next stage I was invited for an on-site interview, I had the same format of interview like the first one, but the questions regarding my background were with more depth and the technical question was harder.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design an algorithm that gets a Binary tree and parses the Binary tree to a string, so that it would be possible to rebuild the tree from the string, and create the opposite function that gets the string and rebuilds the tree.
no referral, directly applied online.
1 takehome with blue jean
2 technical rounds
- easy lc in first round
- easy-medium lc in second round
that was sufficient for intern level interview
I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.

Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
