Facebook Second Phone Interview

Recruiter mentioned feedback from the first interview was to brush up on calculating time complexity of my code. He said I did well overall, but not good enough to make it to the on-site without another interview. If I improve on time complexity analysis, will they pass me to the on site? Can I expect a similar level of difficulty or a more difficult second interview (first interview was one LC hard)? Trying to figure out how far out to schedule the second interview.

How did you get to get a second try? When was the first interview?

Guessing not strong enough of a signal in the first one, but strong enough to not reject outright. Not mentioning the interview date to avoid identifying myself.

Did you get a LeetCode Hard? (Or two)

Intel FAANGS OP Sep 26, 2018

One within the time given. Not sure if two were planned.

My guess is you did well enough at everything and this part was an outlier. They want to give you the opportunity to show that you can do it if you have time to prepare. The guidance to the second interviewer will be to get good signal around this part. They will likely ask a similar question but make sure to drill into complexity analysis to understand how you are there.

Thank you!

Can't share the exact question, but it was Facebook tagged leetcode hard
