I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2015
Interview
Interview was for software engineer. I got the interview call through career fair at campus. It was a telephonic interview for 45 min. The interviewer was very polite and helpful. In the end I messed up things. It started off with the interviewer introducing himself, and asked to introduce my self. Then some behavioral questions, like why Facebook, which team, either Front-end or Back-end are you interested in, and a couple of questions on my projects and resume. The interviewed happened on a Thursday. At the end of the interview, the interviewer told "Sorry! Time's-up". Then itself I understood, I would not clear it. Next monday, I got a mail from the recruiter, that they can't move forward.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You have a string that consists of all types of characters, alphanumeric, special, uppercase and lowercase. The string should still tell me that it is a palindrome or not. For example: 12@#.Race@#car. The example is a palindrome. (Omit the special characters, and do not consider the string to be case sensitive). I wrote the code in O(n), but I was using an extra string to store only the letters. The interviewer asked me to do it in place (use only that string and check for palindrome)
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.
