Process
This was a while back.
The phone interview was pretty bad.
The interviewer had poor audio quality, despite me letting him know a few times. The call was done through some Verizon-owned video call, and we used CoderPad.
The technical portion included one LeetCode hard and one LeetCode medium. I'm not entirely sure how they expected us to finish both in 40 minutes. There were no hints for the first LeetCode hard, and it was the first question. I was not able to finish it and struggled for a bit. The LeetCode medium was fairly easy to do, though I probably messed up somewhere as I was being pressed for time.

Meta Work Experiences
- 3.0It is alrightSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesFebruary 28, 2025Pros: Experience working at Meta is highly dependent on what team or org you are in. Some orgs/teams have insanely complicated political games to play, while some others are more focused on getting interesting work done. It's hard to know which is which just by talking to team members.Cons: You need to play complicated political games to not be a scapegoat for failed initiatives. Not too much promotion these days.
