I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Boston, MA) in Feb 2017
Interview
In-person, on site interview. 45 minutes. Purely technical/coding. One person (current engineer at FB) interviewed me, and I think it was fairly similar to other software engineering interviews, but purely technical. Did not go over anything except one coding problem on regular expressions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write code to match a regular expression to a string.
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
