Application
I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Only got a quick phone call, rejected because I dont have enough years of experience, not sure how I passed the resume screen. But they asked about experience, tools I've used and teams I have managed.
Hard interview, multiple rounds. Went through HR check no problem. Got asked fairly standard questions about my bg, motivation, seeing if i would be a good fit. First round was a coding interview, two leetcode medium level questions with wrinkles
It was ok, nothing too special. 2 Algorithm questions, Then an system design/architectural interview. Followed by meeting with the team. Then there is also a round with HR, where they are still very keen to ask the same old questions
