I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA)
Interview
The process was smooth. Interviewer went through a couple of HR questions, and some follow-up questions. Coding was medium level difficulty, got 2 standard programming questions, both are from Leetcode
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- LC Medium about string palindromes
- LC Medium involving prefix sums and 2D arrays
Typical Interview rounds.
Coding - Leetcode Medium
AI Coding - 4 parts to it.
System design - 1 high level(Like implement messenger) and 1 low level (eg: implement scheduler)
Behavioural - STAR based Questions and answers.
I didnt complete AI 4 parts, thats why i got rejected i guess.
Pretty efficient. Scheduled it very quickly, screens followed by an in person interview. You have Ninjas, Pirates, and Jedis, technical, systems design, and personality interviews respectively. Scheduling is good, good hotel and flights and everything.

Question 1
Design the Facebook post privacy functionality. In other words, if I make a Facebook post, and I have 3 privacy options to choose from (Only Me, Friends Only, Public), design how wold you get the visibility for any Faceook user (ie. can a FB user see the post or not)
Everything was on time, scheduled 1 month before interview. Interview was really good, no any issues. Got 2 coding questions, solved 1.5 questions, but not enough to go to the next level
