I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First, there is a screening call with HR. They tell you all about the recruiting process : - 1st round: a video interview with 3 parts (for a total of 30-45 minutes): 1 – Analytical Interview 2 – Technical Data 3 – Math - 2nd round (if you pass the 1st round): same kind of interview with 5 persons in Menlo Park.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a function to determine if a string is a palindrome
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.

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.
