I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2022
Interview
The recruiter reached out to me for an interview.
They scheduled the initial screening round. The interviewer came LATE. He then asked me a very easy question (similar to palindrome).
I gave him at least 3 different approaches to solve the question based on different time and space complexity.
I caught all the edge cases too!
After the interview I asked him for any feedback, he said that he will give the feedback to the recruiter and she will reach out to me.
The recruiter NEVER reached out and I had to follow up on that.
Then she says that "due to a high number of candidates applying for the position they have decided to move forward with other candidates".
And she said that she can't share any feedback!!
One of the worst interview experiences of my life. I will never accept an interview from them ever again!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Similar to finding if a given string is palindrome
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.

Move zeroes in an array to the end while keeping non-zero element order, in place
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
It's honestly striaght from leetcode tagged
There are no surprises if you do tagged you would be good and do well.
System design is much harder. Would recommend using hello interview.
