I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Messaged recruiter on LinkedIn a few months after being initially contacted. Set up for a phone screen about a week later.
Phone screen consisted of online whiteboard with a question which took majority of interview time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an array that is mostly sorted, find an entry in the array. E.g. [5,6,1,2,3], or [100,101,5,8,12] are valid input.
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.
