      Senior Software Engineer - Mobile Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Mateo, CA) in Sept 2017

      Interview

      Facebook recruiter contacted me thro LinkedIn and asked if I was interested in a position at Facebook. I agreed and he scheduled the phone interview. After the first phone interview, they scheduled another round of phone interview (maybe because I wasn't quite impressive in the first one). I cleared the second round and they called me onsite with a 10 day delay. For onsite, I had 3 rounds of coding, 1 system design and 1 manager interview. The recruiter was courteous and made me feel at ease. Interviewers were nice too except one system design guy who showed some attitude (he had been there for 5 years, so maybe he thinks he's god!). I aced two coding interviews and was average in the third one. During lunch, a friendly guy even showed me the rooftop nature setting which was awesome! After the interview, I got a survey that asked me to rate the recruiter's performance and even asked me if any of the interviewers were late etc. I really liked this unique survey which doesn't happen with other companies. Few days later, I got a courteous email to inform that they won't be able to make me an offer at this time but encouraged me to apply later. I kinda knew this would be the case because my past experience was not in web services companies. Overall, the experience was quite nice and I would encourage anyone to give it a shot.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in May 2014

      Interview

      Recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn. Had 45 min call screen with them reviewing my experience. Was scheduled to come onsite for a 1:1 whiteboard coding interview. Both recruiter and engineering interviewer were very pleasant. Coding interview was focused on a single problem I was asked to solve and did not have much opportunity to discuss my experience and work history with an actual engineer - but thats partially because it took me so long to create the solution.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given Quadrant Q and Circle C, return all quadrants and their children which intersect, overlay, or envelop circle C. That was the only question. I only got through it with a lot of friendly encouragement and tips from interviewer.
