Facebook phone screen

I had one today. I had not seen the question before, so took the full 45 min and solved it optimally without bugs. Later someone told me it's a medium from leetcode. I realized I should have done it in 20min. So in fb phone screen do they expect us to solve 1 or 2 questions?

Depends on the interviewer. Mine had 2.

I solved one in 40 minutes with no issues, again leetcode medium level but not actually in leetcode, got reject and reason was too slow

Had three but only got through 2, then timeout. Passed the interview though. Didn’t too well but the interviewer said good enough (for PE).

Generally the expectation is 2 questions unless the 1st one was super hard or very lengthy to code. The 2nd question can be a follow up of the first one or a new question

Curious. What’s the question?

It was wiggle sort from leetcode

If it's wiggle sort i, I think that is too slow

I had one problem, which I did in 25ish minutes having a hangover lol (leetcode marked hard, but is really a medium). Didn’t got another, assumed failure because of that, but actually got through. So it totally depends on the interviewer.
