      Front End Engineer Interview

      11 Apr 2020
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2020

      Interview

      I was reached out by a recruiter on LinkedIn for a Software Engineer role, then later referred to a different recruiter who's in charge of recruiting Front End Engineers after they learned more about my experience and interest. The process consisted of 2 phone screens, to complete 2 questions in a 45 min session for each, once I came up with a working solution, interviewers asked me to implement any optimizations and analyze the runtime of my code. The onsite consisted of 4 sessions, 2 coding rounds, 1 behavioral round with an engineering manager, and then 1 round on front end system design and architecture, I enjoyed the design round the most as it was very free-form and carried out much like you'd discuss with your coworkers during day-to-day work. The coding rounds were very javascript heavy, the first round was mainly testing your understanding of timeouts, prototypes, the DOM, and your knowledge about different javascript collections. The second coding round was an algorithm and data structure problem with a front end slant, you need to have a good understanding of the DOM. The behavioral round was rather standard and casual, the manager will try to assess your past experience and motivation, and you also get to ask a lot of questions in this round. The hiring committee was fairly quick to decide that I can be moved on to the offer stage, but the actual offer itself took a few weeks to send out. The recruiter has been very friendly and helpful, and overall the recruiting process has been a positive experience.

      Front End Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2022

      Interview

      I went through the phone screening process (three easy questions) and scheduled the following interview which never materialized (canceled due to too many recruitment processes opened at the company, probably cost-cutting measures). That is understandable, but I have wasted some time on the preparation.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - the difference between apply/call - balanced BST complexity
