I recently went through the META E5 onsite Loop and here are my self-assessment 1. Coding 1: Solved both questions optimally with a conversation including dry run and complexity. 2. Coding 2: Solved both questions optimally but took 1 hint from the interviewer, who said he was satisfied with both questions. 3. SD: It is one of the questions from Alex XU, I did well with a lot of discussion with the interviewer. 4. Behavioural round: Went well and answered all the questions with less follow-up. After the interview, I thought I had a good chance of getting hired, but unfortunately, I was rejected by the hiring committee. I don't think they have enough headcount to hire many people now. All the best to all who are in the loop and hope they open more positions soon. I had prepared for months for this opportunity, so the rejection was hard to accept. However, I have been unemployed for several months now and I was hoping to land a job in one of the FAANG companies. Therefore, I am currently in need of a job, and if anyone could help me by providing a referral to any company, it would be greatly appreciated. #swe #engineering #software #referral #hiring #jobhunt #meta #onsite #interview #faang #maang #facebook #adobe #apple #affirm #airbnb #airtable #anaplan #apple #atlassian #benchling #bettermortgage #binance #blend #bloomberg #box #brex #bytedance #c3ai #carta #chime #cisco #citadel #cloudera #coda #coinbase #compass #coursera #cruise #databricks #datadog #dataminr #deliverr #discord #docusign #doordash #dropbox #ebay #faang #figma #flexport #glassdoor #gopuff #google #hudsonrivertrading #hulu #instabase #instacart #intuit #ironclad #jumptrading #jpmc #kraken #lattice #lendingclub #lime #linkedin #lyft #microsoft #mongodb #netflix #meta #nvidia #oci #okta #opendoor #outreach #patreon #paypal #phonepe #pinterest #plaid #quadeye #qualtrics #quora #ramp #reddit #redfin #ripple #rippling #rivian #robinhood #roblox #roku #rubrik #salesforce #servicenow #shopify #slack #snap #square #salesforce #UIpath #Intel #IBM #Firebase #albphabet #Mathworks #snowflake #splunk #spotify #square #stripe #tableau #teradata #tusimple #twilio #twitch #twitter #uber #unqork #upstart #verkada #walmart #wayfair #waymo #wework #workday #yandex #yelp #zendesk #zeta #zillow #zoom

Flawlessly passing all meta interviews and still getting rejected. communication style issues maybe?
I asked lot of questions while collecting requirement, I donāt know, it is very hard to tell what it is but they moved my profile to hiring committee and got reject in the end.
Dm for a TikTok referral

DM for PayPal
Had a similar experience but for E6. Recruiter last week said they will update me this week and their email looked positive. asked for internal referral. After the debrief it was just a reject email. Did good in coding, one of the sys designs and behavioral. Second sys design was average as it was not actually a sys design question. Can somebody give me referral too please? YOE 16+
Did you have an internal referral?
No I said I don't have any

Was there any feedback given by HR ? Or did you ask if they can consider your profile for e4 ? I know itās frustrating as I have been in this situations. Especially for senior roles or above margin of error is very less. Also with current market situation itās lot more tougher. Coding should be flawless. Hint can be considered negative for seniors. Itās usually system desing and behavioral. Most of the time we think that iwe have given the right answer but itās the impression that matters most. How much depth and consideration you showed on every decision that you made ?
No feedback provided. I took only one hint out of 4 coding problem and solved it optimally. In coding round where I took help, he said he is satisfied. For system design it is more of a conversation and then trade off. Behavioural went really good. Iām not sure what was the reason, I left my previous job to prepare for faang, now itās like 8 months of unemployment. They would have considered this as a factor. In the end, I ended becoming a loser.
I don't know why but it feels like this post is to get attention. And you didn't through any loop at Meta.
Lol
if I am not through the META onsite, why on earth, i will be posting it? if you can't help someone, why comment unnecessarily?
