I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Ciudad de Mexico) in Apr 2016
Interview
I was contacted via mail, a recruiter saw my linked in profile, over the phone he had a few basic iOS questions, after that I had another phone Interview with "live coding" again, some iOS questions, this time not so basic and a few problems to solve in the editor. At the end I had an Interview in person with 4 different guys. Mainly solving code problems on a whiteboard and few general questions. One of the interviews was about Architecture, that one was the toughest for me, because I never did something like that, In general I never had an Interview process like this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Don't recall all the questions, but some of the questions had to do with general programming patterns and memory usage, and the problems were mainly about knowing algorithms and complexity with Big O notation, stuff like that
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.
Spoke with interviewer over video conferencing. He was very communicative . He answered my questions. Asked me BFS question. A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.

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.
