Facebook people, could someone explain me how to crack FB interview? I just had onsite for E5 in Seattle office, and I solved all problems (luckily I already knew two of five). System Design went OK, but recruiter's feedback was that coding was not good. I can tell that maybe I missed some corner cases and got some small hints, but solved everything on time and walked interviewers through test cases and fixed bugs. Does anyone know what is important to look at, besides solving the problem? TC: 220 YOE 8
Are you sure they didn't have more questions for you?
2 problems for 45 minutes, 1 LC midium + 1 LC Hard
And you were able to do that mostly optimally? How do you even do it without being a genius or having seen the questions beforehand? How many LC have you done?
The three coding rounds are usually two questions each and then one question in the manager round. So you may have been too slow.
Yep, so I solved 5 questions in total, so speed should be fine, it's probably something else
"maybe I missed some corner cases and got some small hints" = not good enough.
I’m going to guess it’s communication. And maybe telegraphed the fact that you knew the problems

Speed first and foremost, optimally solving the problems, ability to communicate your problem-solving process, considering tradeoffs.
