      Software Engineer Interview

      Feb 26, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      No different to others mentioned here: contacted via LinkedIn, one screening call (45mins), then on-site with 4 x 45mins interviews. Overall, the algorithm questions are not particularly hard. I have interviewed with FB twice, and both times felt the sessions went well (although considerably better the second time), but no offer either time. You won't get detailed enough feedback to know where you might have tripped up, if anywhere, though. From their point of view, I think this is understandable, but makes it harder to deal with the rejection; if you had fouled up every session you would feel better than if you basically answered all the questions, with seemingly positive feedback from each interviewer, yet not got an offer... As noted elsewhere, it's probably best to be stoic about the whole thing and accept that they have so many candidates they probably apply a "benefit of the doubt" policy that works against in their favour; ie. I would imagine they employ a sort of "thumb up", "thumb down" policy. They are, however, very pleasant and expect to have a positive experience of the process even if the result is not what you might want yourself.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      One session of higher-level design, the rest are all standard algorithm sessions. All of this is explained in advance, so no surprises. One on-site session is a more traditional interview.

      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given a string, determine if it is a valid palindrome considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring case.
