      Software Engineer Intern Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Oct 2013

      Interview

      A friend from Facebook referred me. A recruiter called me few days later. She sent me an email, asking general questions like: "When do you graduate? How often do you code? Strongest programming languages?" After answering the email, I had an initial chat with her over the phone, where she asked general questions like: "What office do you prefer? Would you consider a position in UK after the internship?" One week later I had the first technical interview. The interview started with 5 minutes of questions about my work, then we jumped into one coding interview question. The question was simple: Write a function which given two binary numbers as strings returns the sum of them in binary. 5 minutes for my questions at the end. Few hours after the interview, I got an email from the recruiter saying that the feedback is very good and they would like to schedule the final interview. The last interview was easier than the first one: "Given a list of strings, return a list of lists, where each list consists of words that are anagrams." Example: Given ["cab", "cz", "abc", "bca", "zc"] the output should be: [ [ "abc", "bca", "cab"] , [ "zc", cz"]]. I managed to finish this question quite fast (after only 15 min). The interviewer wanted to finish the interview after 15 minutes, but I insisted to get another question. The next question I've got was even easier: "Write a function which returns the nth number of Fibonacci". When I've seen the question I jumped straight away implementing it (took me like 2 minutes), then we compared the iterative method with the recursive one. After the interview, I got an email from the recruiter saying that my coding skills are very good, but the interviewer complained about the fact that I was a bit careless when answering the questions, and that I didn't explained him the Fibo solution before writing code. They wanted to schedule another interview. One week later I had the last interview, which was some kind of giving me another chance, because they usually have only 2 interviews. The last interview was much more difficult than the other two. The first question was: "Write a recursive function which given a string, prints all the subsets of it." After solving this question, he added one constraint. Now what if you want only unique solutions? This was quite hard, and I only managed to solve it after he gave me one important hint. The second day I received a standard rejection email.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given a string write a function which prints all the subsets of the string. Now make the function to return only unique solutions. For example if they give you "abc" you print out a ab abc ac b bc c Now for the unique solution constraint, if they give you "aba" the output should be: a ab aba b

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      They ask the normal standard DSA questions that you would expect for an internship like LeetCode mediums. I think there were two rounds of technical interviews before the offer stage.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Meta (London, England)

      Interview

      DS&A questions, interview is just that with only a couple mins of non technical. Need to be quick and fluent in standard leetcode easy-med, and have decent enough grasp to come up with good ideas to approach leetcode hards.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      DS&A. Asked about how to merge 3 ordered array into ordered array. Then, how to generalise for k ordered arrays. Was okay, but need to be faster and have solution down as if you can do it in your sleep.
