      Software Engineering Interview

      30 Nov 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Menlo Park, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2014

      Interview

      Facebook came to my campus career fair where I turned in my resume. I had an onsite interview in New York which went well. It was completely a technical interview with only programming. I was asked 2 questions - the first was a simple reverse a signed integer, the second was a harder pattern matching problem that could be solved using a prefix tree. I was invited to a second on-site interview in Menlo Park. It was a long flight across the country and in hindsight totally not worth the time wasted - I skipped classes and turned in homework late as a result. The on-site was awful. My interviewer showed up late and then proceeded to ask me a very simple question about printing the paths to nodes in a binary tree. Coded it up with some minor corrections (since I was white boarding and you miss some stuff when you're face is glued to a wall). He then extended the question but cut me off because we ran out of time (this was completely his fault since he showed up a good 15 minutes late). They proceeded to give me a tour of the campus and talk with current engineers. It would have been fun if it hadn't been for the bad interview. Overall, I got the feeling that they're a large company and are definitely not as agile as they were a couple of years ago. Engineers were very complacent and talked more about their great perks than personal growth. In the end, I think I got caught in the interview anti-loop and had some poor luck. Promptly rejected. I really wish I hadn't wasted 48 hours flying for that sad excuse of an interview.

      Question 1

      The pattern matching question in my 1st interview was reasonably tricky, but the interview did a fantastic job of giving me the right clues to help me solve it on my own.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      It's a large company, but interviewing was definitely a more robotic process. The technical interviewer seemed checked out and didn't explain interview process well. At the end of the interview the interviewer only talked about himself, so I figured I wasn't in the running anymore.

      Question 1

      Rotate an array of numbers 180 degrees.

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Vancouver, BC) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      The interview was okay and I solved two questions but didn’t pass the first round, hard to tell and didn’t get the feedback why I was failed. Probably they don’t have headcount?
