I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
The whole process was very fast.
I have applied through the web site and got reply on a same day.
1. Screening with recruiter (15-20 mins)
2. Phone interview with an engineer (45 mins)
3. Onsite interview with 4 people (2 coding, 1 system design, 1 culture fit + coding)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I found system design question more difficult than others as I had no experience in designing large scalable systems.
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.
