I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
Cleared 2 telephone rounds - both had 2 questions, can be easily cleared if you had spent on most common interview questions on binary tree, Roman numbers, Island problem, etc.,
Took more than a month before scheduling onsite.
Onsite -
* 2 technical interviews (convert number to string representation, heap problem, remove unbalanced paranthesis, etc).
* Behavioral was full of quick questions about your experiences, they wont let you think between questions, so that you end up saying your true view of things as you wont have the time to think a nicer answer.
* System design interview was to design Spotify. Buying the book 'Grokking the System Interview' was very handy in explaining the answers at a decent level
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.
