I will be going for Facebook on-site interviews in a few days and wanted to understand what to expect in the coding interviews. Is it always expected to do two code questions in a single 45 minute interview, or many do a single longer code question? Can I ask my interviewer this? (I tend to go for well designed and verbose java code, so donât want to overspend time there. ) I am likely going to be leveled at E4 or E5 based on my experience and current level, in case that affects thin
Better do some stretching because they give it with no Vaseline there
Expect to do 2 coding interviews for sure. Youâll have 2 coding, 1 system design, and 1 behavioral/ career trajectory. In the behavioral interview *sometimes* the interviewer will finish with a warm up coding exercise (only ~10 minutes). Again this is only sometimes and wonât effect your behavioral interview.
Thanks. I meant to ask if a single 45 minute interview will always have two coding questions or often times it is just one. I updated my question.
sometimes 1 soemtimes 2. I suggest you double check with the interviewer
Gotchya- that makes sense. Yes usually theyâll try to get through two coding questions. Start with one simple question, gauge how you do, then proceed to a more difficult question. Eg: 1) max profit from stock price with up to buy 1 sell 1 2) max profit from stock price with up to 2 buy and 2 sell See the difficulty range?
I see. Yes. Thanks, this helps a lot
Thanks as well; this is a nice explanation with an example. I am assuming this is the difficulty range (ie the complexity of the problems) one can expect in the interview.
I also have an on-site interview with Facebook coming up and my recruiter told me that each coding interview could be one or two questions and itâs totally okay to ask which it will be at the beginning of the interview.
Definitely okay to ask so you can try to manage your time
Hi Friends, if you already went through the interviews you were talking about can you share us some tips? Please shed some light on difficulty and how much of emphasis they are placing in Facebook project knowledge? Thanks.
My interview is next Monday. I will report back.
They like trees and graphs and they prioritize technical skill above passion
Thanks
Your recruiter should have sent you a detailed summary of what to expect and some reading to do before your onsite. If they havenât ask them for tips and expectations.
