I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2022
Interview
One of the most well-coordinated interview processes I’ve experienced so far. Everything was very streamlined - they have a full interviewing portal for candidates, and you’re free to prep at your own leisure. My recruiter was one of the kindest and most enthusiastic recruiters I’ve ever had; really made me excited about Meta. There was even an option for a mock interview, which was helpful.
The tech screen (45m) was very straightforward, with a manager who reminded me of Mark Zuckerberg. They jumped straight into the questions, done in an environment with no ability to run the code. There were 2 questions - the second question (dealing a binary tree) was quite difficult if you haven’t seen it before. It took me a while to understand, but it can be found online.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tech screen: 1) array of integers problem, 2) tree problem
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.

Question 1
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
