I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Jun 2024
Interview
2 Leetcode medium-level questions. No machine learning, all software engineering. The interviewer copy/pasted the questions, and wasn't really helpful in the process. They also asked about Big-O run times of the solutions I wrote.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode question 53. Maximum Subarray
Given an integer array nums, find the subarray with the largest sum, and return its sum.
Applied online. Received a recruiter screen within two weeks covering background and role fit. Followed by a technical phone screen with coding (LeetCode medium-hard, arrays/graphs). Then a virtual onsite with 4 rounds: 2 coding, 1 ML system design (recommendation/ranking system), and 1 behavioral. Interviewers were professional and gave time to ask questions. Results communicated within a week post-onsite.
First stage was a screen round with behavioral and 2 leetcodes, one medium one hard, 15-17 min each. If selected, loop is 4-6 interviews. 2 desgin, 2 coding, 1 behavioral.

Question 1
idiotic questions that can't be answered in depth in 35 minutes design, like "your solution isn't going to work, how will you handle it?" yea no sht this is a baseline bro, wait 15 seconds and ill talk about the optimal one.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (London, England)
Interview
Standard Meta process.
1. Recruiter Call
2. Screening Call
3. Onsite Calls -4 rounds (2 coding, 1 ML design, 1 behavioral)
Interviews were all nice except for behavioral. (wouldn't hurt to speak anything apart from okay-okay)
