I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I was local to the Facebook offer so they did the screens in person. The first one did not go very well, but went well enough to get a second chance (as opposed to a full interview). The second one went better and I was invited back for a full day of interviews. They were able to rush the process since I had other offers.
The full day interview was 4 interviews. 1 system design question, 1 manager interview ("Tell me about a time..."), 2 algorithms questions. Everyone was welcoming and enthusiastic, so that made the stressful process easier.
I got a call from the recruiter about 4 days later telling me they were not moving forward with an offer. A bit disappointing and it wasn't entirely clear why as I thought the interview went well. I was interviewing for a smaller office so maybe that made a difference.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1 system design question, 1 manager interview ("Tell me about a time..."), 2 algorithms questions.
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.

1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
