I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
Reached out to a recruiter via a friend. Directly got the invitation to schedule full loop interview. Completed Meta full loop interview process, with one reschedule. Participated in system design, behavioral, coding, and AI-enabled coding rounds, covering core software engineering and problem-solving skills.
Standard double phone screen followed by onsite - recruiter was communicative and expedited process as needed. Interviewers were mildly checked out, but fair and helpful. Recruiter calls before interviews were excessive, didn't seem to be actually helpful.
