I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Went to Menlo Park on their university day (super day), received only one 45-minute technical interview. The event took your entire day. There were about 40 undergrads coming from different colleges. They were all for the internship position. I solved the problem really quickly. But I cannot optimize my code as the interview expected. That was probably the reason I got rejected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given many points, find k points that are closest to the origin.
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.
