I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
1. Application Submission: Apply via career portal, referrals, or recruiters.
2. Recruiter Screen: Discuss role alignment and interview process overview.
3. Technical Phone Screen(s): Solve coding problems on algorithms and data structures. (Duration: 45–60 minutes.)
4. Onsite Interviews
- Coding Rounds (2-3): Complex algorithm problems.
- System Design Round: Scalable system architecture discussion.
- Behavioral Round: Soft skills and cultural fit evaluation.
5. Decision & Offer : The holistic evaluation is followed by an offer if successful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Find the shortest path in a weighted graph using Dijkstra's algorithm
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.
