Had an onsite at Facebook last week. 1 behavioural, 2 coding and 2 system design. The interviewers seem very friendly.
Had 2 problems in each of the coding rounds. Though I arrived at the optimal solution for all the problems, I feel like I received quite a few hints, it felt more like a collaborative effort. Is this normal? Or are you expected to come up with a solution by yourself entirely?
The system design ones were both focused on product frontends, is that normal? Thought they would do one frontend and one backend one? Even this seemed more collaborative rather than me driving the interview.
The interview prep material sent by the recruiter mentions the interviews should be driven by the candidates and not the interviewer. But, that was not the case in my interviews. Do you think this is a bad sign?
Has anyone faced similar interviews at Facebook?
Update: The recruiter contacted with positive feedback.
