I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2026
Interview
I got a mail from a recruiter that i ve been selected for the interview, the first two rounds were PE Basics and PE coding, the coding round was normal easy to medium leet code problems and for the basics thats the main one, where you have a conversation with the interviewer about the knowledge you have about things he/she asks. Well i though i would get next rounds but got the rejection.
