      Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 30, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Dec 2014

      Interview

      I got referred by a friend. After a 1-2 weeks I was contacted by a recruiter. The first stage was composed of 2 phone interviews. This interviews are algorithm questions. The first one was about grouping anagrams the second one about range intersections. After I passed this interviews I was invited for a day of onsite interviews. There where 3 onsite interviews, one was non-technical (about my background) and the other 2 technical (mostly algorithms and coding). Between the 2 technical interview I went for a coffee brake with an employee and I had the chance to ask him more questions about his work and about Facebook in general.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      How to get out from a maze
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      You a have a vector with the heights of an island (at point 1, point 2 etc) and you want to know how much water would remain on this island (without flowing away)
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Write a function that takes a list of words as input, and returns a list of those words bucketized by anagrams with duplicates removed. Example: Input: ["star", "rats", "car", "arc", "arts", "rats", "bar"] 
Output: [["star", "rats", "arts"], ["car", "arc"], ["bar"]] 

      Answer question

      Question 4

      Given 2 interval ranges, create a function to tell me if these ranges intersect. Both start and end are inclusive: [start, end] Given 2 interval ranges that intersect, now create a function to merge the 2 ranges into a single continuous range. Now create a function that takes a group of unsorted, unorganized intervals, merge any intervals that intersect and sort them. The result should be a group of sorted, non-intersecting intervals. Now create a function to merge a new interval into a group of sorted, non-intersecting intervals. After the merge, all intervals should remain non-intersecting. You are given the function definition below.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      Took about a month altogether, which felt longer given the intensity of the process. Kicked off with a technical screening, followed by two rigorous coding interviews. The DSA question on binary tree vertical order traversal hit me hard at first, but then I recognized the prompt instantly — I had just worked through something similar on PracHub. The final round was focused on system design, and while I ended up receiving an offer, I ultimately declined it. Overall, a challenging experience that definitely sharpened my skills.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given a string, determine if it is a valid palindrome considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring case.
