Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

Phone screen: 2 technical questions (LeetCode medium).
Onsite: 3 rounds – 2 technical rounds and 1 behavioral.

I highly suggest going through the Facebook LeetCode tagged questions, as those will be similar to what you will be asked. They also provide their own practice questions, so go through those as well. The interview was difficult due to short timings; you have to solve problems fast.

Questions

Q. Technicals are all LC medium questions.

Q. What's your favorite Meta product and why?

Q. What would you change about a Meta product?

Q. Tell me about a time you disagreed with a manager.
