Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
The whole interview process of Meta consists of application, initial conversation with a recruiter, screening interviews, virtual or onsite interviews, and a decision.
I've done a recruiter conversation and a screening interview. During the screening interview, I had a virtual meeting with one of the Meta employees who gave me two coding questions to solve.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I received two coding questions to solve. Both problems could be at a medium difficulty level on LeetCode.
For the first question, the Meta interviewer started with a scenario where you are given two long arrays which are too big to be loaded into RAM and yet you want to compute the dot product of them. How would you solve this problem?
So you need to come up with a data structure and algorithm to efficiently load these long arrays and compute the sum, and then write code for your solution to this problem.
And the second coding problem is about the binary tree depth-first search.
7 Interviews, didn't receive an offer after the final round. Time-consuming process, which includes multiple rounds of technical interviews (design, coding, behavior, etc.) and a 1-hour research talk. The team leader was unpleasant to interact with.
recruiter call, technical interview, research interview, and job talk (presentation), hiring manager interview, everything was organized in the website so it was easy to navigate through the process, and recruiter was always responding super quickly
