I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Oct 2019
Interview
Recruiter reached me by email.
Location was in London. I had only first phone interview and didn't move to onsite. There were 2 problems and 45 minutes for it. I solved both of them, but seems for one it should be better solution. Interviewer was very friendly and supportive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were 2 easy leetcode tasks(I cannot remember for now exactly it's description). Something about randomly taking card from deck.
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.
Spoke with interviewer over video conferencing. He was very communicative . He answered my questions. Asked me BFS question. A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.

A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.
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.
