I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
Horrible. Don't interview there. Last round was chaotic. Also, Diversity and Inclusion? Just for show. Their website is full of that. I asked the interviewer and he had no idea what I was talking about. They're doing it for show. No real push for it.
Last round interviewer was late. When he got there, I could see the interviewer was not really interested in the interview. Pure robotic question and tone like, "I just want to get done with this."
Their website talks a lot about diversity. I asked about it. Interviewer had no idea what I was talking about.
Steps:
Hiring manager invited me to interview.
Phone call with recruiter.
Standard technical phone call.
Standard, full day interview with 6 rounds.
Last interviewer showed last minute. Shadower was calling him.
They asked for a survey. I sent them a very poor review given that the last round was so poor.
Then email saying they're not proceeding.

Question 1
Programming questions found online in well known sites
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.
