I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
I applied through Career Fair in College and got called for on-campus interview. After 2 weeks, the interviewer notified me to go for an on-site interview. I chose San Francisco, at the headquarter of Facebook. The first question is easy when you only have to dfs or bfs to find all adjacent areas. The second question took place at the on-site, and it was a little bit harder than first one
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a 2-d matrix with each cell contains a character from the alphabet. Given a word, verify if the exist in this matrix. A word is called to exist in a matrix if there is a path from cells to cells in the matrix and this path creates a word that matches the word we're looking for. a cell could move to all vertex-adjacent cells (so there are 8 adjacent cells) and cannot use a cell more than once
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.
