I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2016
Interview
I was contacted by a Facebook recruiter to set up an interview, after having dropped my resume for the company at a tech conference. Had one technical phone interview that went well and was booked for another interview. The second interview was okay, but I was given a third phone interview and rejected afterwards.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an encoding of numbers to letters (A: 1, B: 2, ...), determine how many ways you can decode a string of digits.
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.
