I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
The process was the same for an entry-level software engineer. The recruiters are outstanding and let you know the process every step of the way. I highly encourage anyone else from a non-traditional background to apply and go through the process! It was actually really fun and enjoyable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I signed an NDA so I cannot disclose any questions.
Full loop typical of "regular" Software engineer role 45 mins one easy one medium leet code style question just for screening then on to the rest of the interview loop
Challenging but good. The interview process is very well-developed and comprehensive. Interviewers were experienced and good at interviewing. The coderpad is great and they use excalidraw for system design. Be prepared to do two algorithms questions in 40 minutes!
