How it went
The candidate was referred and quickly contacted by a recruiter. The interview process included a recruiter chat, a CodeSignal assessment, a technical screen, and an online engineering philosophy questionnaire. This was followed by an onsite interview featuring data structures and algorithms, system design, behavioral questions, and an AI-enabled coding round. Despite receiving extensive preparation materials from Meta, the candidate believes their performance in the system design round, which involved an API design problem, led to the rejection.
