I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2016
Interview
Had one 45 minute phone interview with an engineer. The interviewer was very disinterested, wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and was loudly typing the entire time. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Now that I have had other interviews at big tech companies I see that this experience was an anomaly because other interviewers were engaged, pointing out bugs and asking questions, whereas my interviewer silently sat there the whole time. I'm extremely disappointed in the way I was treated
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.
