Which whiteboarding tools we are allowed to use in FB's system design interview for software engineers? The recruiter said: - https://excalidraw.com/. Specifically this one: https://whiteboard.facebookrecruiting.com/ - google draw Anybody used https://app.diagrams.net/ before in an FB interview? Or is it allowed to use different tools than the mentioned by recruiter? TC: ~170K #facebook #meta
Does app.diagrams.net allow a collaborative session? Check with recruiter if it’s okay to use this and screenshare. I don’t see it to be a problem but recruiter should be able to help here.
It does not allow collaborative sessions, but as the physical board is allowed, then the collaborative session is not that important cause there is no such session while using the physical whiteboard. The recruiter said it clearly, they only allowed google draw and their version of excalidraw, but it does not make sense to prevent other tools, so wanted to ask here to get more info from other folks.
You can use this one recruiter mentioned or physical whiteboard and point camera to it. I used physical one last year during all interviews.
Use iPad with pen with notability pen. Connect iPad to video call without audio and shared the screen. It was very easy
Excali draw was simple to use after you practice for 5-10 mins. I wish they had some more items/shapes to represent things like databases, double sided arrows etc.
those items can be imported as collections created by other folks
Oh I didn’t know that, neither did they tell me! Thanks, hopefully someone else sees this and benefits
I used a physical whiteboard and it worked as I got the job
