I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Montreal, QC) in Mar 2022
Interview
I couldn't even get to talk to the interviewer because of multiple communication issues.
First, we schedule our first call and I receive a confirmation email with a date and time for my time zone.
I also get a link to setup a profile on facebookrecruiting.com.
On that website, I have steps to complete.
One was to upload the latest version of my resume.
The other was to select dates in the future so we can already schedule the second interview step.
Not long after, I receive an email saying that my call was cancelled.
I waited for another email saying when and if the call was rescheduled, which never came.
So I sent an email to the recruiter asking why.
He thought that I was the one that wanted to cancel since I updated my availability on the website.
Which I did, but for the future steps of the interview, not for the first call.
So he said he rescheduled for the next week without specifying the time.
I figured it was going to be the same time as the first call.
On that date, I waited an hour to get the call.
I sent an email asking if the meeting was at the same time for my time zone.
He answered yes.
I then said the meeting was an hour ago and asked if by chance it was for his own time zone.
He answered yes again even if he already confirmed previously it was in my own time zone.
Finally, the time comes along and I never got the call.
I went and asked to cancel the meeting and not to reschedule.
Their final email said it was all due to a system error.
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.

Question 1
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.
