I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in May 2025
Interview
I am comign from an academic background and Meta was my 1st ever industry interview. I didn't know about Leetcode even.
My linkedIn profile was picked up by the recruiter and i was scheduled an interview. I was expecting going through the resume and discussing about my experience but it was nothing like that. The interviwer came and asked me to share the screen. She wrote a problem which was some string manipulation. I froze, I have never coded with shared screen before.
So, please practice a lot from Leetcode
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
