I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Jun 2025
Interview
The interview process began with a 90-minute OA that included two medium-to-hard algorithm questions. The format was very similar to what I had seen on Hack2Hire, which made it easier to prepare. After passing the OA, I had a technical phone screen with one engineer. It involved one coding problem and follow-up questions on edge cases and time complexity. I mainly prepared using LeetCode, Hack2Hire, and 1point3acres, which were helpful for understanding the style of Meta’s questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
solve a coding problem involving arrays, where I had to implement an efficient algorithm and then walk through edge cases. I also needed to explain the time and space complexity and justify my approach.
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.

Question 1
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
