I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta (Hyderâbâd) in Aug 2017
Interview
This interview is for the role of software developer internship at London. The hiring process is pretty smooth. After shortlisting is done, there are two to three phone interviews. The recruiter is very good.
Given a mapping of Char to Char array. Given an input string S. Find all possible strings that can be generated.
every character in the input string should be replaced by a character in its corresponding mapped array of characters.
Ex:
'1' => ['a', 'b', 'c']
'2' => ['d', 'e']
.
.
.
Input : "12"
output: ["ad", "ae", "bd", "be", "cd", "ce"]
The process is straightforward and designed to help us get to know each other. It moves through a few stages at a comfortable pace, involves conversations with several team members, and focuses on making sure it's a good mutual fit.

Interview
Had an initial recuriter call and then scheduled a coding round with 2 leetcode questions. Practicing Meta-tagged leetcode questions would help prepare for this round. Interviewers expect clear communication and code.
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.
