J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta (Menlo Park, CA) en oct. 2012
Entretien
I had one phone interview, before I was invited to on-site interview on their new office in Menlo Park.
They paid for all the expenses incurred during the trip (hotel, transportation, food, and any other non-personal expenses)
The on-site event lasted from 9 am to 4 pm. It started with a breakfast on one of their micro kitchen located on every floor of their building, and soon after the breakfast every candidate was taken to a room where they took three 45-minutes interview with Facebook engineers. One was behavioral, and 2 were technical.
In a behavioral interview, interviewer will look at your resume and ask you couple of questions related to it, so make sure you are able to talk about whatever you put on your resume.
Two technical interview is mainly coding on a whiteboard. They will ask some basic question like "why did you choose Facebook" at the very beginning, but the majority of your time there will be spent coding on a whiteboard.
After the interviews, candidates are taken to a lunch on one of the cafeteria on their campus. I really loved the food there, and they have lot of different choices (Italian, Chinese, grills, ...).
After lunch there was 45-minute tour around the Facebook campus.
The event concluded with two tech talks (one backend and one frontend) and Q&A session
Overall it was a great experience.

Question 1
I am not allowed to share questions here (signed NDA)
Took about a month altogether, which felt longer given the intensity of the process. Kicked off with a technical screening, followed by two rigorous coding interviews. The DSA question on binary tree vertical order traversal hit me hard at first, but then I recognized the prompt instantly — I had just worked through something similar on PracHub. The final round was focused on system design, and while I ended up receiving an offer, I ultimately declined it. Overall, a challenging experience that definitely sharpened my skills.
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.
