Interview process

I did well on well on very coding question except 1, it was a cyclic sort problem and I actually didn't know cyclic sort at all. After doing the final round, they gave me another chance to another coding round, I again failed at the first question but not the second. So I got rejected

Tips from the candidate

Study the Top 75 questions on the Meta LC list and study fundamental system design. Most of the questions they ask are on the list so if you have enough time, try to do those questions.

Company culture

The overall culture seemed ok, this was way before they started transitioning to AI heavily in their workflow.
