I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
After successful skype interview I came onsite. There were 4 stages, warmup session, 2 explicit coding sessions and one design session.
I was overstressed and terribly performed during warmup session, next 2 were normal and the last was ok.
Interviewers were friendly enough, they tried their best to help me overcome my stress.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design question - design database structure of url shortener. Improve it. Scale it. Think about all possible functions this project might need.
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.
