I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Apr 2024
Interview
I applied years ago, but never heard back. A recruiter from Meta randomly reached out to me recently though and asked if I wanted to interview. All I had was a phone screening, I thought it went decently enough but they declined to go forward
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Imagine you're writing a command for your command line/shell/terminal called "cd", implement it to allow users to change directory to the directory requested.
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
