Summary
I had a Meta screening for an MLE L5 role in the US. The interview included two coding questions: one specifically linked to a LeetCode problem, and another involving merging two sorted lists of intervals. Although I didn't fully complete the second problem, my focus on communication and the interviewer's guidance helped me advance to the full-loop interview.
How it went
Questions from Meta screening:
a) https://leetcode.com/problems/buildings-with-an-ocean-view/description/
b) Merge two lists having intervals. Lists are sorted by the first element of interval.
I did (a) well but wasn't able to fully code (b). I focussed on communicating my thought process well and the interviewer helped me in bringing back on track in (b).
Surprisingly, I got moved to the full-loop; though I am aware I need to step up my game like anything.
