Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Firstly, I applied for the FB position online, and then an HR representative contacted me to arrange a time to chat.

The chat with HR included:

  1. An overview of the basic interview process.
  2. An explanation of the basic hiring process if an offer were extended.
  3. A free-flowing conversation to understand my background.

One day later, I received an email to schedule a Skype screen date.

The interview via Skype consisted of:

  1. A self-introduction and icebreaker.
  2. Two coding exercises.

The exercises were similar to those found on LeetCode, at an easy/medium difficulty level.

Questions

The difficulty is to calm down and devote yourself to thinking about the questions. Don't try to recall some problems that you've resolved, as it may waste your time.
