I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
The recruiter contacted me and asked if i'd be interested in interviewing for the position. I went through a phone screening where i coded on a shared editor, i breezed through the interview and got the solutions, then optimized them as needed. The interviewer seemed happy with my solution however i got a no go call the next day, pretty confused as to what went wrong and they refused to disclose due to their privacy policy :(
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Implement most efficient structure to store multiple strings
The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
