I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Recruiter contacted me. It was followed by a phone screen where I was asked to solve a problem on coderpad.
I was brought onsite to the Menlo Park office where I had to go through 4 rounds of interview - one career discussion+coding, two completely coding and one system design.
The office seemed pretty dead and so did the people. During the design round, the interviewer never gave me any feedback and was busy typing on his phone the entire time. The lunch interviewer found it hard to smile it seemed. Overall, the place gave a pretty negative vibe to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can't disclose because of NDA. You can find everything on Leetcode.
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.
