Are you going to join?

Daimler SbXE81 OP Mar 25, 2019

Think so. Also waiting on my on-site feedback with Amazon, but FB seems more appealing to

Congrats!

You're not special enough for an AMA.

Daimler SbXE81 OP Mar 25, 2019

Compared to other FB engineers no, but compared to other people I consider it an achievement. It was a very difficult series of interviews

Congrats, it’s a high bar. And welcome!

How did you prepare ? Any advice for us plebeians would be nice

Daimler SbXE81 OP Mar 25, 2019

CtCI and EPI. Solved about 250 problems on LC. Started preparing February 2018

They didn't tell me what band I will be put in because the offer hasn't been finalized yet. 3 YOE

Hi who many rounds and how many Q per round? And did you solved all optimally?

Daimler SbXE81 OP Mar 25, 2019

Had 5 rounds, 3 coding (1-2 questions per round), 1 lunch/behavioral and 1 system design. Solved EVERYTHING optimally in given time, but WITH help and hints from the interviewers. Everything was on the whiteboard and I spent the entire time in the same room

Sapient geek007 Mar 25, 2019

Great :) did you found any Question from Leetcode? And also my recruiter asked me to choose from distributed system design or Product design? i have interview scheduled in may :)

Dropbox systest Mar 25, 2019

Did you do any system design interviews? Any tips on how to prep?

Daimler SbXE81 OP Mar 25, 2019

Sure. Just brush up on both OOP patterns and classical system design questions about scalability etc. I prepped watching "success in tech" on YouTube

Dropbox systest Mar 25, 2019

Interesting I didn’t know FB asks OOP. I thought only finance companies ask those. Thanks!

Damn I don’t get how you can write these leetcode style solutions on white board. I struggle to even write half of the code on the board! Congrats
