I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2017
Interview
a phone interview, an onsite interview and an additional phone interview.
The first phone interview is easy and only about graph searching. The onsite interview includes three interview. Two of them were coding challenges, and the other one included the behavior question. One of the problem is hard on Leetcode and the others should be Medium, but both of them are not hard to solve.
The additional phone interview is easy on Leetcode, but I failed :(
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.
Spoke with interviewer over video conferencing. He was very communicative . He answered my questions. Asked me BFS question. A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.

Question 1
A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.
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.
