I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
I got the interview from employer referral. The first interview was a 45-min phone screening, where I was asked about my past working experience, a coding question and a followup coding question. In about 2-3 days I heard back from the HR that I was invited for an on-site interview. The on-site (Uday) interview was also 45-min long, including a discussion about my past working experience and two technical questions, both answered on a whiteboard. Very typical interview workflow but the HRs at FB are incredibly responsible and responsive!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about how you develop your interests thru past working/research experience.
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.
