      Software Engineer Interview

      23 Oct 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      Applied online via a referral to a different role (Partner Engineer) but was instead rerouted and interviewed for a Software Engineer- New Grad in Washington DC in February 2018. These jobs are coveted so I understand there is a lot of volume but I was never even contacted by a recruiter about the intent to interview for a different instead. Anyway, ended up interviewing because at the end of the day I was trying to get in the door so I didn't make even bother to ask why I was now interviewing for this new role instead. Ended up having a phone interview with a manger from an Engineering team. Had a virtual call with a live coding test for ~45 minutes. Thought my solutions were at least acceptable to pass a virtual call test but I get theres a standard of quality I didn't show in my code. Hard to be personable over the phone but the whole thing felt very dull and transactional. Interviewer honestly didn't seem to care about my past work at all and seemed to ask those questions redundantly. Conversation felt very impersonal in general. At end of it, I did realize I had never applied to Facebook with the intent of this role to begin with so I know I wasn't the best fit when it came down to it but I sort of felt that I got blatantly ignored by the company and siloed off immediately to a New Grad position with no communication about the reasoning .

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      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.
