Process
Applied through referral.
Conducted a 45-minute telephone interview.
The interviewer was very nice. She guided me through the interview process and gave me 5 minutes to ask any questions.
There were two coding questions, which were easy:
- One question was about Trie.
- The other was about binary search.

Pros: Overall, I enjoyed my time at Meta. It has amazing internal tooling and a bottoms-up culture. The experience will be highly dependent on your direct team/manager, but overall, for a big tech company, Meta is good if you want to work hard and have a shot at fast promotions.
Cons: Product philosophy boils down to finding north star metrics and then pushing them up. There are definitely some empire-building middle managers.
