I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Dubli) in Jan 2013
Interview
Awful. 6 job interviews in order to get a technical position. Many recruiters and HR personnel involved that have absolutely no technical background. The interview process is so long and tedious that at the end you no longer want the job. Its all a joke especially when people that were not selected after the 4th interview have been told they should be proud for reaching so far in the recruitment process. I am wondering how a potential employer would look at a CV that mentions Facebook as previous professional experience and states: " I did not really work for Facebook, but I was very close to get the job, something I am very proud of".
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A lot of questions about soft values, interesting to a point but not very relevant to the position, it makes you feel that your professional experience and competence is not really valued.
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.

Question 1
Move zeroes in an array to the end while keeping non-zero element order, in place
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.
