Meta interview experience: E4/E5
Summary
I recently completed my full loop interview rounds with Meta for an E4/E5 role. Despite positive feedback on my system design and behavioral rounds, I was rejected primarily due to my performance in the coding rounds.
Full Experience
Hello everyone,
I recently completed my full loop interview rounds with Meta. I have not heard from the recruiter yet. My first coding round very nice -- told the optimised solutions for both of the questions asked but for the second coding round in second question, I was able to code up the brute force solution but could not tell the optimized solution despite of hints given.
For system design interview, I was able to answer all the cross questions asked but I feel, I could not cover a lot of deep dives I had thought of covering in 40 minutes.
Behaviorial round went pretty good.
Recruiter has not yet informed about the level. I am seven years of experience total. The level should be either E4/E5.
What could be my chances of getting through?
Update:
It was a reject :( majorly due to coding rounds. The feedback for system and behavoirial rounds was a HIRE call.
