I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2018
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter from San Francisco. After the initial chat, for the second round, a product manager from Seattle office contacted me to do the phone screen. He asked me a question related to sparse vector. I recommended and coded tree solutions including hashing, linked-list and array. Unfortunately, the interviewer was not very knowledgeable. I corrected him in regards to memory management and he made a wrong comment about Dictionary overhead. It is very hard to believe managers like him is able to work at Facebook. It is very unfair that he mentioned giving too many hints to me during the interview as an interview result. I feel very disappointed.
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.
