I had a recent phone screen interview with Facebook for a new grad SWE position. It was a leetcode hard with 50 minutes of coding instead of the usual 30. Anyway, I passed the phone screen and was invited to an onsite interview during University Days for prospective new grads and interns. I was told there will be three technical rounds with two of them being code based on the whiteboard. Can anyone give insight on the difference in difficulty from the phone screen to the onsite? Also, if there’s any room to mess up on the problems while still getting the offer TC 52k lol
Difficulty would be the same. You can expect atleast 2 leetcode hard questions during your interviews. You would be expected to complete 2 questions per round (bug free). Work on writing optimized bug free code.
So potentially 4 leetcode hard level questions completed in the 2 rounds that in given?
2 medium / easy and 2 hard questions
It's usually the same, my phone screen was actually harder than my onsite. Google has a harder onsite than phone screen
Was that the case for your Facebook onsite as well?
The questions may or may not be harder onsite, but the bar for passing is higher onsite. There's plenty of room to mess up while still getting an offer. Every candidate is nervous, and coding on a whiteboard is awkward. No one writes perfect code on their first try. What matters is how you handle mistakes and what those mistakes say about your skill/experience.

Thank you AAPL and NVDA
Did you actually finish the phone screen completely?
Yes I finished the screen with optimization and complexity follow up questions
Pretty certain that was all he had
