J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta (Austin, TX) en oct. 2016
Entretien
Technical Phone Interview: A programming problem online while on the phone with an engineer. I had a HUGE unfair disadvantage because the engineer was very uncertain about the problem I was given. About halfway through, I had completed what I thought was the problem only for him to tell me I misunderstood the problem. After redoing it to meet his guidelines with the remaining time, he then informed me that "due to a communication error, my original solution was the right way". But after about 5 minutes of trying to revert the code, he said he was sorry that we're out of time and maybe next time I'd have better luck. Utterly ridiculous - I wanted to complain to the recruiter but I didn't because it makes it seem like I'm just bitter about "not passing" the interview and will be reapplying next winter.

Took about a month altogether, which felt longer given the intensity of the process. Kicked off with a technical screening, followed by two rigorous coding interviews. The DSA question on binary tree vertical order traversal hit me hard at first, but then I recognized the prompt instantly — I had just worked through something similar on PracHub. The final round was focused on system design, and while I ended up receiving an offer, I ultimately declined it. Overall, a challenging experience that definitely sharpened my skills.
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
