Process
I participated in a phone screen interview from Meta last October.
There were two coding questions.
I wrote on the blackboard, but I didn't fully finish the second one. The interviewer was kind but didn't give hints.
Questions
One backtracking question.
One question that is similar to the meeting room question on LeetCode.
