I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I applied at a campus recruiting event and got an email a few days letter about scheduling an interview on campus. It was a 45 min technical one on one interview. He asked me one straightforward question (see below). A few days after the interview, I got an email inviting me to their Menlo Park location for another interview on campus. I flew out there for University Day and really enjoyed the whole experience. The interview was 45 mins again and the interviewer asked me two questions (see below). I thought I answered the questions really well in O(n) but did not get an offer.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Find all combinations of three numbers in an array that add up to zero.
Given an array of strings, return an array of arrays of anagrams.
Example:
Input: ("car", "rac", "start", "tastr")
output: (("car, "rac"), ("start", tastr"))
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
