I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2017
Interview
Inside referral but got denied for multiple times without interview. Some months later, they just somehow remembered me and pop up and send me email appointing for a Skype interview. I am surprised they are trying to contact me with information on a years-old resume because I am sure I reapplied with the updated CV just some months ago. Interview is just programming online. Difficult as I expected. Few company come up with a DP problem at first interview. The engineer interviewing me kept asking me to change my algorithm. Managed to finish core algorithm, with potential bugs, and got denied (again) exactly 24 hours later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A dynamic programming problem. Core algorithm is not very difficult but the input are extremely annoying, which are designed to cause problems in my opinion.
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.

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
