I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2017
Interview
Applied online, they responded within a week, set up a time to discuss about the positions available. I got a call sharply at the mentioned time, she told me about the type of work they do at Facebook, asked me about my interests and at the end told me to prepare for the initial technical screening.
I scheduled it two weeks later. Got a call from the interviewer, he introduced himself, told me briefly the work he does at Facebook and then asked me to open the coderpad link that I got from email. I was asked 1 standard programming question, the call lasted about 40mins, at the end he asked me if I have any questions and concluded the interview. Still waiting for their feedback (its been only 2 days now)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Max occurrence letter in a string. [Kept on adding constraints like ignore spaces, special characters, case insensitive..] Later asked about space and time complexities
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.
