I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2023
Interview
1) Recruiter reached out to me. 2) Phone call with recruiter 3) Call with hiring manager 4) It was a bad fit, so I declined that role, and clarified what I'm looking for. But they replied back and said they only had that role open for me. I'm curious if they've even read my resume. I also wonder why they'd hand-selected me for a role I'm way over-qualified for? Especially when they've got other positions in my area.

Question 1
They wanted someone who knows about software engineering in order to write some camera models API.
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.

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.
