I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2012
Interview
The recruiter first emailed me to confirm a time for a telephone call. The call from recruiter was not for interview, she just told me their hiring and interview process, gave some basic suggestions for interview and finally confirmed a time for the first phone interview. After the first phone interview I got the second phone interview in one week and stopped here.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a m*n grid starting from (1, 1). At any point (x, y), you has two choices for the next move:
1) move to (x+y, y);
2) move to (x, y+x);
From point (1, 1), how to move to (m, n) in least moves? (or there's no such a path)
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.
