I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
Applied online, then got a referral from a full time engineer. About two weeks later, got an email with a recruiter to work out a time for a 45 minute phone interview, which got scheduled for 2 weeks later. Phone interview was 2 easy/medium coding questions.
The week after the phone interview, I got an email from my recruiter telling me I got an on-site, which got scheduled about a week and a half after that. The on-site was fun -- one 45 minute interview, same format as phone interview. Plus a tour, lunch, and Oculus Rift demo. One day later I got a call from my recruiter offering me the internship!
no referral, directly applied online.
1 takehome with blue jean
2 technical rounds
- easy lc in first round
- easy-medium lc in second round
that was sufficient for intern level interview
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
