Summary

I interviewed for an E5 role at Meta, going through a full loop that included two coding rounds, a product architecture round, and a behavioral round.

Full Experience

Coding Round 1

  • Binary tree question on the lines of getting Left side view + right side view of the tree
  • 2 pointer problem on strings called Internationalization(Meta tagged)

Coding Round 2

  • Get path from entry 0,0 to exit gate 2-d array traversal problem
  • View ocean array problem (Meta tagged)

Product Architecutre

  • Online coding competition platform

Behavioural

  • General/usual kind of questions

Interview Questions (5)

Q1
Left and Right Side View of Binary Tree
Data Structures & AlgorithmsMedium

Given the root of a binary tree, imagine myself standing on the left side of it and return the values of the nodes I can see, ordered from top to bottom. Do the same for the right side view. The question was on the lines of combining these two concepts.

Q2
Internationalization (2-Pointer String Problem)
Data Structures & Algorithms

A 2-pointer problem focused on strings, specifically named 'Internationalization' and described as 'Meta tagged'.

Q3
Path in 2D Array from (0,0) to Exit Gate
Data Structures & Algorithms

Given a 2D array, find a path from the entry point at coordinates (0,0) to an exit gate.

Q4
View Ocean Array Problem
Data Structures & Algorithms

A problem specifically referred to as 'View ocean array problem' and tagged by Meta.

Q5
Design an Online Coding Competition Platform
System DesignHard

Design a system for an online coding competition platform.
