I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
Recruiter called, explained process for 30 minutes. Recruiter was friendly and helpful. They email you all the algorithms preparation sites. I guess they expect you to go through all the sites and complete all the algos and then come for interview.
Next he scheduled telephonic interview, Interviewer was not friendly at all, He started with Introduction and Why Facebook. Then coding question. He was not helping or giving clue at all, i could hear keyboard noises, i think he gave me question and start doing his work. I completed question in half hour. he asked complexity.
I am sure i did good as i was able to write code and explained through examples, but next i heard from recruiter that i was not selected and they can't provide feedback due to company policy. Process seems good but not providing feedback is something i didn't expect.
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.
