The interview that I had with a software engineer at Meta was a Leetcode challenge in web IDE, but without running the code. It was a typical process. One easy question was asked and one medium question was asked.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Londen, Engeland) in May 2025
Interview
I completed Meta’s full interview loop, investing significant time in preparation. I solved all coding questions optimally but found the time constraints too limiting. The behavioral and system design interviews were subjective, but I addressed all questions effectively. Some interviewers were professional, others disengaged. I didn’t pass, which is fair, but the lack of follow-up was disappointing. Despite my attempts to contact recruiters, I received no updates for weeks. This disregard for candidates' time made the experience one of the most unprofessional I’ve had. Many companies handle recruitment far better, and I’m disappointed in Meta’s approach.
