I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
On a Friday afternoon, the recruiter and I discuss my background, the interview process at Meta, etc. Oddly, she mentions she is working on Monday, and will send my resume to some engineering managers in the morning, and send me a link to Meta's career portal by EOD. I wake up on Monday to find a generic rejection from her on Linkedin at 7AM. No problem, I thought. I sent her a thank you message only to be given an automatic response of being on maternity leave. Not cool Meta. Not cool.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Background, day to day responsibilities, current level, work from office, etc.
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.
Spoke with interviewer over video conferencing. He was very communicative . He answered my questions. Asked me BFS question. A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.

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.
