I recently had a virtual on-site interview with Facebook Reality Labs which I failed. I consider my performance average (eg. While I did moderately well in the RTL/ASIC questions, I failed the python coding challenge which was actually easy). So even though this was supposed to be the final stage, HR scheduled me for one final interview with one person just so they could make up their minds. I thought I did well in the final interview but yet I got declined. I plan to reapply one year from now.

Any tips/guidelines on how to better prepare?

5 YOE, TC- 175k (lower cost of living city compared to Bay Area/Seattle)

      OP
      Lots of general behavioral questions, resume based questions, Fifo sizing, CDC solutions including the use of async FIFO, verilog coding of simple circuits (think decoder etc), python coding - recursion kinda problem but classified as leetcode easy

    What was the python question, it will help me with interview next week and was told by the recruiter to refresh my python skill. Thanks a bunch

  • What level were you interviewing for?

    Have looked at their ASIC positions but my background is FPGAs specifically so I've been hesitant. Sounds like those are just general digital design questions though.
