I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2012
Interview
A friend of mine working there referred me to the recruiter. The recruiter promptly contacted me to set up a phone interview and asked me what I want from my career and if I like fast paced working environment. Everything was very smooth and professional.
The phone interview lasted about an hour and I was asked to write codes on some collaboration editing web site like google doc.
The problem to solve and a couple of function headings were already given in the web page.
The question was about the binary tree. I was supposed to write a function to return the next node in inorder traversal sequence. In itself, it looks complicated but, there was a funciton heading called, init(), that you can use to preprocess and add any data structure you need.
I somehow missed this initially and found this too late :(

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.
