I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Scheduled phone screening around February first week of this year. The interviewer called asked a typical question which I solved for the most part and answered few of his additional question. Nothing felt was going extremely bad. However, there wasn't any second question or any specific question for me. Lot of background noise was coming from the interviewer side. In the end, I asked few questions and interviewer ended by saying thanks. There wasnt much enthusiasm from his part. It felt i was not cutting out to his standard but lack of interaction from his part made him very hard to read.
After more than two months now, I haven't yet heard a courteous rejection from FB. Reached out more than two times. I have appeared in FB interview a year back and the process went smoothly. The recuriter this time reached out early and i had to tell her that I appeared less than an year back. When it was just an year past, i reached out and the phone screening was scheduled.
It just feels the recruiting process has lost its finesse. If I have spent my time preparing, the least i can expect from my recruiter is to let me know of the outcome.

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.
