I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (Philadelphia, PA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Phone interview. Chatted for a bit about my past, did a single programming challenge in my choice of language, chatted a bit afterward about Facebook.
Overall, the interviewer was pleasant and helpful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given a bunch of dominoes. Write a function that determines if any two of those dominoes add up to [6, 6] (e.g. [1,4] + [5, 2]).
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.
