I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Stony Brook, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
I had one interview and got a reject after that. It was a 45 minute phone interview. After introductions, I was asked two programming questions. The interviewer was helpful. I could solve both questions before the interview ended. I asked for feedback, but no reason was given, just a generic email.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
1. Given a version control system, and there are n versions, find the version which got corrupted. So when a version gets corrupted, all the next versions are bad versions. The task was to find the first bad version.
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.
