I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2024
Interview
Was a remote position through a third party but all interviews were done by meta staff. One personality, two technical interviews where you live solve leet code problems with meta staff. Final interview with hiring manager which was supposed to be personality and work history. Ended up throwing me a curve ball and gave me a difficult technical question which was annoying and threw me off. Ended up getting 80% of it so I didn't get an offer. Liked all the other interviews though. Like most large tech interview it depends on who you get as your interviewer.
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.
