I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Burlingame, CA) in Jul 2025
Interview
Interviewers had poker faces, I think that’s in their instructions so don’t get thrown off by that. Leetcode wasn’t super hard, system design question went by very fast, make sure you think and work fast because you’ll really only have 30-35 minutes (if you exclude the intro and end).
